Vajrapani manifests as the wrathful bodhisattva emanation of Akshobhya, wielding the vajra that shatters delusion just as Akshobhya's mirror-like wisdom reflects reality without distortion.
Akshobhya presides over Abhirati, the Eastern Pure Land he brought into being through his unbreakable vow never to feel anger, a world system to the east where the ground is smooth as a palm and no harsh word is ever spoken.
The Five Dhyani Buddhas form the mandala of transcendent wisdom in Vajrayana practice, each seated at a cardinal point with Vairocana at the center, transforming one of the five poisons of the mind into its corresponding enlightened wisdom.
Vimalakirti reveals himself as a being from Akshobhya's pure land Abhirati, and to prove it lifts the entire world system with his right hand and sets it before the assembly, demonstrating that purity and impurity are not separate.
