Mahavairocana (Vairochana)

Mahavairocana, also known as Vairochana, is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, representing the "Great Sun" or cosmic universe's divine source. He embodies the fundamental enlightened nature present in all beings—pure, all-encompassing wisdom and compassion. Often depicted meditating or radiating luminous energy, Vairochana symbolizes the principle of ultimate reality that underlies and connects everything. His teachings emphasize that enlightenment is inherent in everyone and can be realized through understanding the true nature of existence beyond dualities or illusions.
