What it represents
When one thing stacks on another, the mind scatters. In the tradition, Vairocana stands for light and awakening. The name is close to the one who illuminates everywhere: the light spreads, and it can be gathered. If that is the one you want, this is the piece.
Name and tradition
Among the five buddhas, this figure is usually placed at the center.
Details to look for
On this piece the body is pale. Three faces can be seen: the front, the left, and the right. Both hands rest at the lap in a meditation gesture, as if setting a scattered attention back in one place. The seat is a lotus, and there is a crown. The figure is not painted in only one way. Some pictures have four faces. This note describes only what can be seen on this piece.
