Puxian Buddha riding a six-tooth white elephant
The mount of the Puxian Bodhisattva is the six-tooth white elephant of the Spirit Tooth Fairy. Like Manjushri, who rides a lion, he is a threat to Pilugana Buddha, collectively known as "Three Sages of Huayan." The white elephant represents willingness to act deeply and tirelessly; six teeth means six jackfruits--giving, giving, preaching, indignity, improvement, meditation, wisdom and wisdom. According to Buddhism, the six-tooth white elephant is transformed by a bodhisattva. It represents the mighty spirit and symbolizes "willing to do great things and fulfilling virtues."
Like the symbolic power of nature, that is to say, when we act, we must be tenacious and fearless to succeed.
騎六牙白象的普賢菩薩
普賢菩薩的坐騎是靈牙仙的六牙白象。與騎乘獅子的文殊菩薩，同為毗盧遮那佛之脅士，合稱為「華嚴三聖」。白象代表願行殷深，辛勤不倦；六牙，表示六波羅蜜──布施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、慧智。佛教稱六牙白象是菩薩所化，以表威靈，象徵「願行廣大，功德圓滿」。
象自然象徵力大無比，也就是說，我們行動的時候，一定要堅韌不拔，有大無畏的精神，才能成功。
