Acala acts under the command of Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana Buddha). He assumes a stern appearance to save people and burn away all obstacles and impurities. Acala, the most famous of the Myo-o, is a Buddhist statue commonly seen alongside Kannon and Jizo. Acala is said to be an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana Buddha) and is affectionately known as "O-Fudo-san." His ferocious face is meant to guide those who do not obey the Buddha's gentle face to the right path. The sword in his right hand exorcises all worldly desires that hinder the Buddha's teachings, and the great flames he carries on his back burn down evil spirits and obstacles. The rope in his left hand protects people's eternal peace and grants great blessings by helping them attain enlightenment. Although it looks scary, it is a Buddha statue filled with compassion and a desire to save people.
