Vajrapani is one of the earliest Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, representing the power and might of all Buddhas. He is depicted as a protector and guide, embodying the spiritual energy and resolve necessary to cut through ignorance and delusion. As part of the Rigsum Gonpo (Lord of the Three Families), alongside Manjushri (wisdom) and Avalokiteshvara (compassion), Vajrapani signifies the power to manifest enlightened activity.
