Vajrapani; 金剛手菩薩
Vajrapani, known as the "Indestructible Hand of Buddha," is important in Buddhist cosmology. Esteemed for embodying the enlightened energy of all Buddhas, he serves as a fierce guardian and provides transformative strength to practitioners. His name combines the Sanskrit words "Vajra" (thunderbolt or diamond) and "Pani" (hand), making him the "Holder of the Thunderbolt." The thunderbolt symbolises his unyielding strength, and devotees seek his protective qualities for strength, courage, and removing obstacles. Vajrapani is often depicted standing or dancing, holding a vajra in one hand and sometimes a bell in the other. The vajra signifies the indestructible nature of reality, while the bell represents wisdom, highlighting the union of compassion and insight.
