Mara

In buddhism, the demon Mara holds the wheel of life, and is the final test before one enters Nirvana.

Gautama Buddha taught the monks that when one has overcome his 5 Skandahs, understood the 4 truths of suffering and completed the eight-stepped path, he would be able to break out of Samsara and face the dreadful Mara. When the monk had no Karma, he would not fear Mara and he would slip into Nirvana.
