Light / Bright / Shine
光 is the simplest way to express “light” in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
It can also mean ray or bright. Chinese tend to use a two-character word for light/bright, so this character is probably best if your audience is Japanese. Also, when pronounced Rei, this can be a Japanese female given name.
In the Zen Buddhist context, this is the pure light that everyone possesses at their origin.
Marici / Marishiten
This is the Chinese and Japanese title for Marici, the Buddhist god of war.
Pronounced as Marishiten in Japan or Molizhitian in China.
The original name Mārīcī comes from the Sanskrit मारीची which literally means “Ray of Light.”
