Who
is Vajrapani?
Vajrapani is the Buddha of
Skillful Means. According to Buddhist philosophy, the state of
full spiritual enlightenment is characterized by three
qualities: limitless compassion, limitless wisdom, and limitless
skillful means. Vajrapani represents the ability to enter into
any situation, no matter how unpromising, and transform it into
a path of spiritual fulfillment. Thus, this has become an
appropriate name for our center.

Secret Vajrapani |
"And
to Vajrapani, holder of the diamond,
The very sight of whom will rout
All dangers like the deadly host of Yama;
To him indeed I fly for safety.
Formerly your words I have transgressed,
But now I see these terrors all around.
To you indeed I come for help,
And pray you, swiftly save me from this fear."
