Vajrapani is one of the earliest bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, forming a triad with Avalokiteshvara (compassion) and Manjushri (wisdom). He represents the power aspect of the Buddha's mind, acting as a protector of the Buddha-dharma and a guide for practitioners. Often depicted in a wrathful form, he symbolizes the fierce determination needed to overcome ignorance and achieve spiritual realization, transforming negative emotions into wisdom.
