Amoghapasha
Amoghapasha is a bodhisattva in Vajrayana Buddhism. The “lasso” in his name refers to his ability to catch sentient beings and lift them out of suffering. Amoghapasha is closely associated with the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, and in some contexts can be understood as a form of the same deity.
