The name of Buddhism is Thao Mahathadapajapati Brahma. It is the supreme deity (Trimurti) in Hinduism. He is the god of creation, mercy, the creator of the world and the creation of all things in the universe and the Vedas.
Brahma has four faces His head wears a rosary. In each hand held a lotus flower, a scripture, and a cauldron, a swan or a goose. His wife is Surasawati. Goddess of Art, Science and Knowledge
In the Book of Matsayapurana it is said that Brahma originally had five faces. The presence of five faces is caused by When Brahma gave birth to a woman named Sararupa, the beauty of the figure fascinated him. When this warp moves Brahma would turn his face to look after him. But there was one time when Brahma snubbed Lord Shiva. make shiva angry and use the fire from the third eye in the middle of the throne to burn the face above Brahma's head until there were only four faces left But another belief says because Brahma's upper face was very bright. making Sura and Asura unbearable. therefore asked Lord Shiva to cut it.

Brahma, being considerate of kindness, learned about the matter, transformed her gender into a Brahmin hermit and told the subject. including magic, occultism, prophecy, textbooks to see the characteristics of fortune tellers, etc. and therefore regarded as sacred and beautiful Even the Ping La Dabos scriptures Chinese astrology textbook Even in later versions of astrology scriptures it is said that only hermits and deities were obtained. Teachers who have learned it speak of this auspicious thing in the same way.

He will give blessings to be fulfilled. Called "Phon Phrom" or "Brahmaphon" and is also the deity of the north as well.
