Qormusta Tngri

In Manichaeism, the name Ohrmazd Bay ("god Ahura Mazda") was used for the primal figure Nāšā Qaḏmāyā, the "original man" and emanation of the Father of Greatness (sometimes called Zurvan) through whom after he sacrificed himself to defend the world of light was consumed by the forces of darkness. Although Ormuzd is freed from the world of darkness his "sons", often called his garments or weapons, remain. His sons, later known as the World Soul, after a series of events will for the most part escape from matter and return again to the world of light where they came from. ==In Buddhism==

In Sogdian Buddhism, Xurmuzt or Hürmüz was the name used in place of Ahura Mazda. Via contacts with Buddhists, this Sogdian name also came Shamans, who still name this deity Qormusta Tengri; Qormusta (or Qormusda) is now a popular enough deity to appear in many contexts that are not explicitly Buddhist. ==See also==
