The sword held by Fudo Myo-o represents cutting through one's delusions, and sometimes also it is said to cut through one's karmic hindrances. Still other sources within the various esoteric Buddhist schools suggest that the sword is used to cut through one's demons (echoing the above concerning delusion). The wisdom sword, as it is called, is symbolic of cutting off the fetters of greed, anger, and delusion.
