In Esoteric Buddhism in Japan, the Fudō Myō-ō serves as the messenger of Dainichi Nyorai and encourages steadfastness in Buddhist adherents.
"Gyoku-gan" is a traditional method for fashioning the eyes of a wooden Buddhist statue using crystal stones.
This pedestal is called 瑟瑟座（Shitsu Shitsu za) .
Fudō Myō-ō wields a sword called "Hō-ken" in his right hand. It represents wisdom conquering ignorance. Fudōson combats the three poisons — greed, anger, and ignorance — to save us from their threat.
Fudo Myō-ō holds a rope called "Kensaku" in his left hand in order to lasso demons, thereby protecting humans who have fallen from being totally overcome by their evil.
Thank you for visiting!
