Garuda
Garuda: A mythical bird-like creature which features in both Buddhist and Hindu lore. They also symbolize various elements of the Buddhist path. Slightly fierce, with one face in the form of an eagle, round eyes and a curved beak, he has two horns, upward flowing yellow hair and a green jewel snatched from the nagas adorning the crown of the head. The two hands hold outstretched a writhing snake gripped with the beak. Adorned with gold necklaces and bracelets, the lower body is covered with feathers and large wings are unfurled behind. Standing on legs of two talons above wisps of fire and a coiled snake, atop a sun disc and lotus seat, he is surrounded by orange and red wisps of twisting flames of pristine awareness. In Buddhism, garudas are not a single being but more like a mythical species. Their wingspan is said to be many miles wide; when they flap their wings they cause hurricane-force winds. The garudas waged a long-standing war with the nagas, which in most of Buddhism are much nicer than they are in the Mahabharata.
In the Maha-samaya Sutta of the Pali Sutta-pitaka, the Buddha makes peace between nagas and garudas. After the Buddha protected nagas from a garuda attack, both nagas and garudas took refuge in him.
Garudas are common subjects of Buddhist and folk art throughout Asia. Statues of garudas often "protect" temples. The Dhyani Buddha Amoghasiddhi sometimes is pictured riding a garuda. Garudas were charged with protecting Mount Meru.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the garuda is one of the Four Dignities -- animals that represent characteristics of a bodhisattva. The four animals are the dragon, representing power; the tiger, representing confidence; the snow lion, representing fearlessness; and the garuda, representing wisdom.
