Wei Tuo Bodhisattva

Praise to Wei Tuo (Vajrapani) Bodhisattva:

Wei Tuo Master warrior of the devas;
Transformation body Bodhisattva;
Vast and deep your mighty vows to cherish and guard the Buddha's teaching.
Your vajra sword can quell the demon armies!
Merit, virtue, all beyond compare.
Now we pray you will be guardian of our minds.
Namo Universal Eye Bodhisattva Mahasattva,
Maha Prajna Paramita!

Wei Tuo Bodhisattva is the great Dharma Protector in Buddhism.

A Dharma protector is one who protects the Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha and those who cultivate the Dharma. Dharma protectors are found in the realm of the Bodhisattvas, gods and spirits. It can also refer to the lay people who support the Buddha, the Buddhist teachings, and the monastic community of Buddhist monks and nuns.
