| | Aksobhya is one of the five cosmic Buddhas- the spiritual sons who emanated from the Adi Buddha. | | | This imperturbable Buddha has a comparable posture and meaning to that of the historical Buddha Gautama Sakyamuni in his guise as the conqueror of the demon Mara (the evil spirit). | | | Aksobhya is 'the lord of the east', transforming the dangerous human affliction of anger, one of the most potent obstructions to enlightenment, into perfection and wisdom. |

| | Aksobhya is one of the five transcendental Buddhas, the cosmic Dhyani-Buddhas who are regarded as the spiritual sons of the Adi- Buddha in human form (the embodiment of the five cosmic elements). | | | The second cosmic Buddha is the embodiment of consciousness and represents the winter season, the faculty of hearing and the elements of ether and sound. | | | His left hand rests in his lap in dhyani mudra, the gesture of contemplation. |

| | While Vimalakirti, with his miraculous power, showed them thus the universe Abhirati and the Tathagata Aksobhya, one hundred and forty thousand living beings among the men and gods of the Saha universe conceived the spirit of unexcelled, perfect enlightenment, and all of them formed a prayer to be reborn in the universe Abhirati. | | | And the Buddha prophesied that in the future all would be reborn in the universe Abhirati. | | | Thereupon, the Buddha Sakyamuni asked all the multitudes, "Friends, behold the splendors of the universe Abhirati, the Tathagata Aksobhya, the array of his buddha-field, and the splendors of these disciples and bodhisattvas!" |

| | One important type is the mandala of the "five Buddhas", archetypal Buddha forms embodying various aspects of Enlightenment, the actual Buddhas depicted depending on the school of Buddhism and even the specific purpose of the mandala. | | | The most common mandala of this type is that of the five jinas or conquerors, the Buddhas Vairocana, Aksobhya, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, and Amoghasiddhi. | | | In the West the term is also used to refer to the "personal world" in which one lives, the various elements of the mandala being the activities and interests in which one engages, the most important being at the centre of the mandala, and the least important at the periphery. |

| Â | Bardo: Second Day |
| | Transcending the water element, the white light begins to dawn, and in the east, the Realm of Complete Joy, the tathagata Vajrasattva or Aksobhya appears. | | | The second tathagata is Aksobhya, in the eastern side of the mandala, which, following Indian tradition, is placed at the bottom. | | | In other texts Aksobhya may appear at the centre, with Vairocana in the east, so there is often some alteration of their attributes; this is why both white and blue colours appear on the first and second days and why there is sometimes an apparent confusion in the mandala pattern. |
