Mara (daemon)
Mara (Sanscritice māra; Mandarinice 魔; Iaponice 魔羅, マーラ aut 天魔; Tibetanice Wylie bdud; lingua Khmer មារ; Birmanice မာရ်နတ် ; Thai มาร; Singhalensice මාරයා), in Buddhismo est daemon quod Gautamam Buddham temptavit, ad eum illicendum conans visione mulierum pulchrarum, quae in variis legendis saepe dicuntur filiae Marae.[1] In cosmologia Buddhistica, Mara imprudentes animi impetus, mentem imperitum, et mortem[2] vitae spiritualis in personam suam constituit. Tentator est, qui homines a vita spirituali distrahit per blandimenta rerum mundanorum, vel faciens ut res malae bonae videantur.
