Akshobhya, blue lord of the vajra family  presides in the eastern realm of the mandala. He embraces his yum, Lochana, his right hand holding the vajra, or dorje, symbol of his family, as he rings the wisdom bell with his left hand. He represents the primordial cosmic element of water, and his path to enlightenment is one of breaking free of obstacles and constraints -of transmuting negativity, overcoming the gross, deluded passion of anger through the application of mirror-like wisdom.
