FUDO BUDDHA

The most powerful of all Buddhas & Main Deity of Samurai Buddhism (Fudo-Shu)

Life is full of battles and the greatest warriors in history -- and the most admired worldwide even today are the heroic Samurai of Japan. Almighty Fudo was the most important deity for the Samurai who would inscribe His image on their helmets and armour. From the greatest leaders Hideyoshi and Tokugawa to the greatest generals Shingen and Kenshin to the greatest warriors Musashi and Benkei -- the greatest ever warriors in history all venerated Almighty Fudo Buddha. This proves that if we venerate Almighty Fudo Buddha, we can be victorious in battle. In fact, one of the world's most widely visited temples Naritasan is called the Victory in Battle Temple of Fudo Buddha. As all of us have to deal with life's challenges and battles, honoring Almighty Fudo is the surest way to gain Divine Protection.

Almighty Fudo Buddha grants us Sensho or Victory in Battle and the Naritsansan Senshoji or Victory in Battle Temple of Fudo Buddha in Japan is one of world's most widely visited Buddhist temples -- with more million pilgrims in a week than the Mahabodhi Temple gets all year! Praying to Almighty Fudo can bring Divine Protection and Guidance for Victory in all of life's challenges and battles.
