The Dragon-Guardian of the Dharma:
The dragon, a universal legendary creature, occupies an important place in several Buddhist schools, symbolizing the richness of the spiritual tradition. Although its role as guardian of the Dharma is not universal, some schools attribute a special meaning to the dragon, thus reinforcing the protection of the sacred teachings of the Buddha.

1. Chan (Zen) School: Within the Chan tradition, the dragon is seen as a symbol of awakened nature. Its power and grace represent the strength needed to overcome obstacles on the path to enlightenment. The representation of the dragon thus becomes a source of inspiration, propagating perseverance in meditation and spiritual quest.
2. Pure Land School: The Pure Land school, devoted to Amitabha Buddha, frequently uses symbols such as the lotus and the dragon. Here, the dragon is seen as the guardian protecting the Pure Land, a spiritual realm devoid of suffering where followers aspire to be reborn.
3. Shingon School: Shingon Buddhism, a Japanese esoteric school, celebrates complex rituals involving deities and spiritual forces. In these practices, the dragon is invoked as the protector of esoteric teachings, thus ensuring the preservation and correct transmission of spiritual secrets.
4. Tendai School: The Tendai school, embracing a wide range of teachings, integrates the idea of ​​the dragon as guardian of the Dharma within the symbolism of protective deities. Powerful and respected, the dragon embodies the protection of the teachings leading to awakening.
5. Nyingma School (Tibetan Buddhism): In Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Nyingma school, nagas, often depicted as dragons, are considered the guardians of sacred teachings. Rituals associated with nagas are intended to provide protection from negative influences and promote spiritual prosperity.
6. Kagyu School: With an emphasis on meditation and direct experience, the Kagyu school incorporates purification rituals linked to the naga. The dragon is invoked to ensure mental clarity and provide spiritual protection.
7. Sakya School: Known for its esoteric teachings, the Sakya school incorporates protective rituals involving the dragon. These practices often aim to pacify negative energies and establish spiritual harmony.
8. Gelug School: Founded by Tsongkhapa, the Gelug school incorporates the dragon into protective rituals in certain practices, thus reinforcing the preservation of the Buddha's teachings.

Thus, across these various schools, the dragon emerges as a symbolic guardian of the Dharma, testifying to the uniqueness and diversity of interpretations within Buddhism.
