---------------------------------------------------------------------- Size/Total height: 31cm, width: 16cm, depth: 12.5cm Material: Cypress Country of Origin: China The chief deity of the Five Great Wisdom Kings and the Eight Great Wisdom Kings. It shows the wrathful appearance of the Tathagata. It awakens the bodhi mind of practitioners, rejects evil, and cultivates good. It has the power to help practitioners attain great wisdom and attain Buddhahood. He enters the state of fire-birth samadhi, eliminates all sinful hindrances, and becomes unmoved, which is why he is called immovable. Seated on a rock seat, he has the form of a boy. His queue hair hangs down over his left shoulder, and his left eye is slightly closed. He carries a flame on his back, a sharp sword in his right hand, and a lasso in his left hand, and cuts off the worldly desires of all living beings. The rituals contain esoteric Buddhist iconography, but many of them are freely created.
