Acala
Controls destruction and regeneration, and destroys evil
The etymology of the word means “unmoving guardian” and is another name for the god Shiva in Indian mythology. Shiva is the deification of the power of storms, causing destructive disasters but also helping plants grow with rain. This opposing side of destruction and blessing is also inherited by Acala. Acala uses his anger to subjugate those who are obstacles to Buddhism, but he always protects and watches over those who have entered the Buddhist path.
As an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, he is said to represent the determination of the heart to lead even the most evil people to the Buddhist path. Faith in him has spread particularly in Japan, where he is familiarly known as O-Fudo-sama. He is also the central figure of the Five Great Myo-o. The Five Great Kings are the five deities of Acala, Gozanze Myo-o, Gundari Myo-o, Daiitoku Myo-o, and Kongoyasha Myo-o, and are arranged in the east, west, north, and south with Acala at the center. Two of the Eight Great Children, Kongara and Seitaka, are often placed as attendants of Acala. Incidentally, the flaming sword with a dragon wrapped around it that Acala holds may be enshrined alone. It is considered an incarnation of Acala and is called Kurikara Ryuo.
Benefits
It is said to bring good fortune by warding off disasters, winning battles, driving away demons, protecting practitioners, warding off misfortunes, national security, and worldly benefits. It is also the guardian deity for those born in the Year of the Rooster. It is said to bring good luck, ward off evil, and help grant wishes to people born in the Year of the Rooster.
Appearance of Acala
Many are short, slightly chubby, child-like figures with angry expressions. Their eyes are called Tenchigen, with the right eye facing the sky and the left eye facing the earth. Their mouths are called Kiba Jyojyude, with the right fang sticking out upwards and the left fang sticking out downwards. They stand behind a flaming halo and hold a sword and a lasso in their hands. The sword represents the sharpness of the wisdom of Dainichi Nyorai. The lasso is a rope used to bind worldly desires and reform evil hearts.
