Gundari Myo-o Stone Carving
軍荼利明王
Within the temple garden there is a waterfall with a stone carving of Gundari Myo-o, a fearsome, multi-armed warrior figure, surrounded by flames. Gundari is one of the five Myo-o, or Wisdom Kings, in Buddhist iconography. These guardian deities protect the Buddhist faith, subdue evil, and help believers overcome obstacles to enlightenment, such as passion and material desires. Gundari Myo-o dispenses Amrita, the nectar of immortality, which is represented by the waterfall in the garden.
The Myo-o derive from Hindu deities, and Gundari is the Buddhist representation of Kundali.
