What are the Bodhisattva's vajra wrathful gaze and thunderbolt means?

Question: What is meant by the bodhisattva's vajra glare and thunderous means?

Answer: For example, suppose a person with a cleanliness obsession is shut up together with a pig. Seeing the pig defecating and urinating in its own straw nest, the person cannot help but give the pig a kick — this is thunderous means. Likewise, a bodhisattva whose mind is already pure comes to this evil world of the five turbidities and stays together with sentient beings of greed, hatred, and delusion. Seeing that sentient beings are deeply mired in ignorance, committing deluded karma without being aware of it themselves, and refusing to accept instruction and transformation, the bodhisattva cannot help but loudly rebuke them — this is the vajra glare.

Question: But wouldn't that lead people to say the bodhisattva lacks compassion?

Answer: Whether one is compassionate or not has never been defined by sentient beings. A bodhisattva pours out heart and soul for sentient beings, yet sentient beings are heartless and soulless, and do not even recognize heart and soul. Being scolded is unavoidable; not being scolded by sentient beings in this evil world of the five turbidities would actually be rather abnormal — otherwise, how could there be those bodhisattvas who regress?
