Alongside this, he wields the Dharma Chakra—the wheel of Dharma—symbolizing the continuous cycle of teaching and the eternal truth of the Buddha’s doctrine. In his left hand, he carries both a bow and an arrow, representing focused intention and precision in cutting through delusions, paired with a vajra axe that embodies indestructible spiritual strength and the ability to destroy all forms of suffering.

Seated serenely in the vajrasana or diamond posture, his calm demeanor reflects unshakable stability and meditative focus. Atop his head rests an ushnisha, a raised protuberance that marks his enlightened state and supreme wisdom.
