Been seeing the dude in pic related all over my town lately. The Asians here are all about some Fudo Myo for some reason. Strangely, I feel drawn to him. Kept staring at his statue in the local sushi shop.
I'm familiar with some mantra work. Google doesn't turn up much for Fudo mantras or meditations.
Anybody got any more info

Here's the Sanskrit mantra. Not sure about pronounciation.
>Namah samanta-vajrânâm canda mahârosana sphotaya hûm trat hâm mâm
Any help appreciated. The Youtube vids don't help much. Phonetics would be nice.

I was going through trying to translate this when I realized it was purely Buddhist. After that the search was easy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acala
>Acala (Sanskrit: "immovable") is a dharmapala[1] primarily revered in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly in Tangmi traditions of Japan where he is known as Fudō Myōō, China and elsewhere.
Apparently the mantra means "Homage to the all-pervading Vajras! O Violent One of great wrath! Destroy! hûm trat hâm mâm"
Vajra was a term for both diamond (indestructibility) and lightning (irresistable force). In the Vedas vajra was a term for Indra's lightning weapon. It is also the term for the small object in the pic, which I believe is used as a focal point for energy and meditation. I would imagine there are some differences in the term for this mantra.
Not finding a good explanation of the last line. Perhaps some nice Buddhist will expand on this.
