Vajrapani, Avalokiteshvara and Manjushri
This image shows the three great bodhisatvas: Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani. They are known collectively as the lord of the three families, but they are not Buddha's. The three Buddha families are: Tathagata, Padma and Vajra. The three primal poisons, Ignorance, Desire and Anger are represented by the pig, cockerel and snake.
Avalokiteshvara is the lord of the Padma family.
