Zodiac Guardian of those born in the year of Rooster 🐓: Acalanatha Bodhisattva 不动尊菩萨

As the name suggests, Acalanatha Bodhisattva 不动尊菩萨 represents strong and firm determination ("不动" = unwavering). Through his angry and fiery fierceness, he scares away your doubts, obstacles, bad energy.


Acalanatha 不动尊菩萨 is also a fighter, a warrior. And actually, he is the wrathful manifestation 忿怒化身 of Vairocana Buddha 大日如来 (the BOSS, remember?).




Vairocana 大日如来 represents the great sun, truth and order. We have a saying in Chinese: 佛都有火 -- even the Buddha will have fire (get angry). And that's when Acalanatha 不动尊菩萨 manifests. He is the warrior, the steadfast guardian. He is the wrathful manifestation. He is the FIRE.


Legend has it that Acalanatha 不动尊菩萨 trampled on the heads of those who arrogantly reject the truths and compassion of Vairocana 大日如来, subduing them, restoring order to the universe.


Sometimes, when some people cannot accept truth and logic, the FIRE must burn.

For the Lotus version, that's why we carved mountains behind Acalanatha Bodhisattva 不动尊菩萨. Steady as a mountain. Steadfast. Strong.


Worthy to take note, the peacock (upgraded-Rooster), the main subject-matter of Master Yun's fengshui paintings, has a similar meaning as the Acalanatha Bodhisattva 不动尊菩萨.

The peacock is compared to the Bodhisattva path (in "The Wheel of Sharp Weapons"《修心利刃轮》), when one upholds the high standards and integrity and not be moved by mediocrity and evils.


May those who receive blessings (and protection!) from Acalanatha 不动尊菩萨 gain worthy strong benefactors that will fight and win your wars, and be blessed with unwavering success of high standards.

Zodiac Guardian of those born in the year of Dog 🐶 and Pig 🐖: Amitabha Buddha 阿弥陀佛

If Vairocana Buddha 大日如来佛 (zodiac Guardian for those born in the year of Goat and Monkey) is the ultimate form, like the Chairman or the big boss, then Amitabha 阿弥陀佛 is the CEO. He is the master of "Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss 西方极乐世界".


"Wait. There's more than ONE Buddha?" When we started talking about the zodiac Guardians, this was one of the FAQs.

Yes. There is more than one Buddha. Long story.

That's why, hopefully, through the connection with serial dramas, more well-known tales and classics, and linking them to a corporate hierarchy (Chairman, CEO...), we can recognize them better.


Amitabha 阿弥陀佛 was the big boss who set the whole "Journey to the West"《西游记》in motion. He is also the boss of the many Bodhisattvas we talked about, Guan Yin 观音, Manjusri 文殊菩萨, Samantabhadra 普贤菩萨, Mahasthamaprapta 大势至菩萨...


Is he the same one who subdued the Monkey King 孙悟空 and banished him under the Five Finger Mountain 五指山?

Yes. Same Buddha.


When we say: 逃不出我的五指山 (can't escape from my control/palm/five-finger-mountain), we are referring to this specific episode.
Amitabha 阿弥陀佛 is the leader, and he vows to elevate people to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, a realm of "Immeasurable Light and Life 无量寿、无量光".


For the Lotus version, you will see that the background is full of "The Wheel of the Law (dharmachakra) 法轮". It represents many things, of which: the path and direction to a blissful life.




May those who receive blessings from Amitabha 阿弥陀佛 be blessed immeasurably, and never let a worthy opportunity slip from your hand.

Zodiac Guardian of those born in the year of Goat 🐐 and Monkey 🐒: Vairocana Buddha 大日如来佛

If you are born in the year of Goat or Monkey, your Guardian Buddha is, what I would say for simplicity sake, the BOSS: the Vairocana Buddha 大日如来佛.


And if you find the Boss's name familiar, you might be recalling movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"《西游·降魔篇》(2013), directed by Stephen Chow 周星驰. In which during the "final boss scene", Tripitaka 唐三藏 called upon the Vairocana Buddha 大日如来佛 to subdue the Monkey King 孙悟空.


One hand. SMASH.

We see the same SUPERPOWER at the end of 2004's《功夫》(Kung Fu Hustle).


The 大招. The killer-combo.

Vairocana 大日如来 and his "Buddha's Divine Palm 如来神掌".


The one hand that subdues evil, and returns light and justice to the universe.


His name refers to the sun 太阳. And that's why, for the Lotus version, the rays of the sun are his aura.

Many a times, we really need the power of the great sun to chase away darkness, illnesses, evils.


May those who receive blessings from the Vairocana Buddha 大日如来佛 achieve wealth and success as powerful as the sun.

May you also achieve your grand ambitions swiftly and gloriously.

Zodiac Guardian of those born in the year of Dragon 🐉 and Snake 🐍: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva 普贤菩萨

The interesting thing about the Lotus version, once again, look closely at the background, is full of footprints. 

And the footprints are imprinted with the Buddhism swastika 卍, symbolizing the auspicious footprints of the Buddha.

Some sources say that a person makes about 35,000 choices daily, both conscious and unconscious ones. Of course, some are more important than others. BUT also we know, life's destiny is an accumulation and tally of good and bad choices. 

Even with great knowledge, one is not definitively certain that a choice is entirely correct. You might have seen others making so terrible choices, but somehow by a twist of fate, the results turned out to be wonderful.

What we can seek, is to be blessed at the steps we take. Every footprint we make on our journey, let it be auspicious, and blessed by amazing energy and luck.

Watch the video and you will know why Samantabhadra Bodhisattva 普贤菩萨 sits on an elephant.

The Buddhism swastika 卍 is pronounced as "wan" is Chinese, which is similar-sounding to "万" (meaning: ten-thousand, plenty, all). "足", which refers to footprints, also means abundance. When your footprint is imprinted with 卍, it means abundance in every solid step you take.


May those who receive blessings from 普贤菩萨 Samantabhadra Bodhisattva be 卍事足 (万事足) abundant in all things.
