Vajrapāṇi (from Sanskrit vajra, "thunderbolt" or "diamond" and pāṇi, lit. "in the hand") is one of the earliest bodhisattvas of Mahayana Buddhism. He is the protector and guide of the Buddha, and rose to symbolize the Buddha's power. Vajrapāṇi was used extensively in Buddhist iconography as one of the three protective deities surrounding the Buddha. Each of them symbolizes one of the Buddha's virtues: Manjusri (the manifestation of all of the Buddha's wisdom), Avalokiteshvara (the manifestation of all of the Buddha's compassion) and Vajrapāṇi (the manifestation of all of the Buddha's power). Furthermore, Vajrapāṇi is one of the earliest Dharmapalas and one of the rare Buddhist deities to be worshiped in the original Zen Buddhism of the Shaolin Temple, Tibetan Buddhism, and even Pure Land Buddhism (where he is known as Mahāsthāmaprāpta ). Manifestations of Vajrapāṇi can also be found in many Buddhist temples in Japan as Dharma protectors called Nio.
