Vajrapani, known as "chag na dor je" in Tibetan, is one of the earliest deities of Mahayana Buddhism. He represents the power of all Buddhas. With the opening of the third eye, he looks ferocious. He is a Bodhisattva who represents the enlightened mind's energy; his mantra reflects that characteristic. The dancing within the halo flames represents transformation. The holding of Vajra stands for power that cuts through the delusion's darkness, and the lasso is to bind demons.
