Hi tet

I think this is Buddha in the 'Mara', or conquering evil position. When I asked what this was, a familiar story was told about the devil approaching Buddha, & offering untold wordly power & riches, if the Buddha submitted to the devil. The Buddha declined. This sounds like a very similar story, to the temptation of Jesus Christ & Mohammed, both of whom also rejected Satans' temptations.

Cheers
