Many people thought that [due to his terrific image] Vajrapani belongs to the groups of Dharmapalas [protectors of the Buddhist doctrine]. Actual Vajrapani belongs to the category of Bodhisattvas.
Manjushri, Amitabha and Avalokiteshvara are depicted at the top of the painting. These »Three Great Bodhisattvas« represent the three main focuses of Buddhist Practice — to cultivate Wisdom, Compassion and the Power of Enlightened Activity.
Vajrapani is a complex deity with many different forms. In the early Buddhist scriptures he appears as a companion of the Buddha. He can be recognised by the fact that he holds a vajra in his right hand. He is usually seen in his wrathful form, in which he is a powerful protector and remover of obstacles.
Vajrapani is said to be the last Buddha to appear in this world; he represents the combined power of all the Buddhas.
