“Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself. Better to conquer yourself than others. When you’ve trained yourself, living in constant self-control, neither a deva nor gandhabba, nor a Mara banded with Brahmas, could turn that triumph back into defeat.” — Buddha/ Dhammapada

Mara (มาร) represents death, rebirth, and desire in Buddhist cosmology. The personification of the Enlightenment’s antagonist forces.
