Buddha Vairochana is one of the five Dhyani Buddhas in Nepalese-Tibetan Buddhism. He represents the cosmic element of Rupa (form) and is associated with the Dharmachakra Mudra, the gesture of teaching. This mudra, where the tips of the thumbs and forefingers of each hand are united against the chest, symbolizes the turning of the Wheel of Law. Buddha Vairochana is often depicted as a celestial Buddha and is considered the dharmakaya of the historical Gautama Buddha.
Key Symbolism:
- Dharmachakra Mudra: A gesture of teaching, symbolizing the turning of the Wheel of Law, first exhibited by Buddha while preaching his first sermon at Sarnath.
- Primordial Buddha: Vairochana represents the central Buddha in the Five Tathagatas of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, embodying the concept of sunyata (emptiness).
- Cosmic Element of Rupa: Vairochana is associated with the cosmic aspect of form, symbolizing the integration of form and the teachings of the Buddha.
The mantra of Buddha Vairocana is:
Om amogha vairocana mahamudra manipadma jvala pravarttaya hum.
This statue serves as a powerful representation of the Buddha's teachings and cosmic presence, perfect for those seeking spiritual guidance and enlightenment.
