Vairocana

Vairocana is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, representing the cosmic Buddha embodying universal enlightenment and wisdom. Often depicted as a luminous, supreme being, Vairocana symbolizes the source of all Buddhas and the infinite nature of enlightenment that pervades the universe. This figure embodies the idea that enlightenment is all-encompassing and accessible to all beings. In Buddhist practice, Vairocana serves as a metaphor for the ultimate reality, encouraging practitioners to realize their innate Buddha nature and develop insight into the interconnectedness of all existence.
