Mitrugpa, revered as Akshobhya Buddha, is one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, central figures in Vajrayana Buddhism. He represents the pure, mirror-like wisdom that arises from transcending the defilement of anger and hatred. Residing in the eastern pure land of Abhirati, Akshobhya is celebrated for his unwavering vows never to harbor aversion or ill-will towards any being, thereby symbolizing the immutable and steadfast nature of the awakened mind.
