Skanda Bodhisattva (Ch. 韋馱菩薩; Wei Tuo Pu Sa), Wei Tuo, and sometimes called Veda, or Idaten (韋駄天) in Japan, is regarded in
Chinese Buddhism as a devoted guardian and an honored
Bodhisattva of Buddhist
monasteries who guards the
Dharma and the objects of the Dharma. He is also sometimes called "Wei Tuo Zun Tian Pu Sa" (meaning Honored Bodhisattva Wei Tuo) because he is one of the twenty-four guardian bodhisattvas. He is the
General-in-Chief of the thirty-two heavenly generals who serve under the
Four Heavenly Kings.
