Fudo Myoo (Acala), also known as "O-Fudo-san," is one of the most familiar Buddhas alongside Kannon. In Sanskrit, he is called Achalanatha (another name for the god Shiva in ancient India).
"Achala" means "unmoving," and "natha" means "protector," so the word "immovable" was used to translate it.
Fudo Myoo (Acala) is an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, and is always surrounded by flames at his command. He is a miraculous Buddha who destroys all obstacles and evil.
Acala holds a sword of wisdom in his right hand and a lasso in his left hand, and is said to have a wrathful expression as he tries to save people even by making them submit, eliminating our worldly desires and destroying all disasters.
