About Vairocana Buddha

Vairocana Buddha, also known as Mahāvairocana, is a central figure in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, revered as the embodiment of the dharmakāya, or the truth body of the Buddha, representing ultimate reality and universal wisdom. Often depicted seated in the center of mandalas, Vairocana radiates light and clarity, symbolizing the illumination that dispels ignorance and reveals the nature of emptiness (śūnyatā). He is associated with the color white, representing purity and the integration of all colors, and his signature gesture is the Dharmachakra mudra, signifying the turning of the wheel of Dharma.
