Akshobhya appears in the “Scripture of the Buddha-land of Akshobhya” which dates from 147 AD and is the oldest known Pure Land text. According to the scripture, a monk wished to practice the Dharma in the eastern world of delight and made a vow to think no anger or malice towards any being until enlightenment. He duly proved “immovable” and when he succeeded, he became the buddha, Akshobhya.

Akshobhya is believed to transform the human failing of anger into a clear, mirror-like wisdom. With this wisdom, we see things just as they are, impartially and unaffectedly. A mirror will reflect both a red rose or a bloody dagger just as they are. Akshobhya’s blue color is closely linked to the mirror symbolism. Blue is the color of water, and water has the capacity to act as a clear mirror.
You can recognize Akshobhya by his mudra. I have a beautiful gilded carved statue of Akshobhya buddha.
What an exquisite Buddha Image! The color blue connected to water and mirror – I like!
Namaste’

The ability to stand back and look at negative emotions with a detachment and to look for the lessons for us, is a life lesson! Absolutely love that picture too!!
Yes Shree this is an ability we all need for enlightenment. I so need to weed the garden of my mind.
