This is a protective charm featuring an image of Fudo Myoo (Acala) with the Kōmyō Shingon (Mantra of Light) on the back. In addition to the blessings of Fudo Myoo, it also offers the benefits of the Kōmyō Shingon. The Kōmyō Shingon is considered all-powerful, often recited in times of trouble. It brings a sense of calm in difficult, painful, or frustrating situations, like a light illuminating the darkness. It also has the power to repel malicious spirits and vengeful ghosts, and to purify the dead. It is a mantra that is always recited in Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. Benefits of Fudo Myoo: Elimination of earthly desires, warding off evil, academic success, career advancement, business prosperity, health, protection of practitioners, family safety, traffic safety, and disaster prevention. Benefits of the Kōmyō Shingon: Purification of mind and body, recovery from illness, warding off evil, good fortune, and ancestor veneration. Fudo Myoo is considered an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana Buddha) and is positioned as the highest Buddha in Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. He has a wrathful expression (funnusō) and is believed to have the power to cut off evil spirits and save people from suffering. He is especially powerful against vengeful ghosts, being the strongest among the Five Great and Eight Great Myoo.
