Amoghasiddhi

Amoghasiddhi is one of the Five Wisdom Buddhas who preside over the cardinal directions' heavens, with his realm to the north of Buddhism's Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. He is associated with the completion of the Buddhist path as well as the annihilation of the poison of envy. His name translates to "Unfailing Accomplishment." Tara, which means Liberator, is his consort, and his mounts are garudas. He is a member of the Karma family, whose symbol is the double vajra.

Amoghasiddhi embodies the conceptual mind, the highest abstraction, and promotes the appeasement of all evils by facing them with courage. The conceptual (Skt: samskara) skandha, or conceptual mind, is associated with Amoghasiddhi (as opposed to the non-conceptual or sensational mind). This Buddha strives for the reduction of evil and the annihilation of envy and its poisonous influence. His actions in support of Buddhist paths are acts of pacification.

Amoghasiddhi, who sits on a lotus throne surrounded by bodhisattvas, holds his right hand in abhaya mudra, a protective gesture for devotees. The yogi position, or mudra, he employs symbolizes the fearlessness with which he and his devotees confront the poisons and delusions that lead Buddhists astray. It's common to see him painted green and associated with air or wind. The moon is also associated with him.
