user5853: Is there a figure in Buddhism corresponding to the Christian notion of such? And what would that mean, practically?

user-1: Mara its name is Mara. It can be understood as unconscious desires of Buddha or as a literal being who comes to fight with him and does not want to get him enlightened. 

user111: One to one comparison with Satan is not possible, but there's an angel called Mara who dislikes the existence of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha. He tries to stop beings from attaining enlightenment.
