Think of Mara as an evil force, a temptress who tries to control folks by fear and lust. Christians might refer to her as a demon. When Buddha was meditating on how mankind might escape pain and suffering, Mara sent fearful visions to get his mind of his quest. The enlightened Buddha defeated her.
A person defeats Mara by following the eightfold path and the teachings of Buddha (The Dharma). This will allow you to acheive equanimity and overcome adversity by being one with it.
Anglo Saxons had a supernatural being known as Mara as well. She is remembered in the word "nightmare" as she would sit on sleepers' chests at night giving them bad dreams and a feeling that they were suffocating.
