Vairocana

yay this is my 150th card!! Vairocana!!

In Buddhism, Vairocana is the greatest of the "Dhyanibuddhas", the Five Great Buddhas of Wisdom. He encompasses the principal of "Absolute". In Tibet, he is said to ride a snow leopard as his mount. He is also said to have introduced the Yogacara school of Mahayana Buddhism to humans.

In Sino-Japanese Buddhism, Vairocana is also seen as the embodiment of the Buddhist concept of shunyata or Emptiness. In the conception of the Five Wisdom Buddhas of Vajrayana Buddhism, Vairocana is at the center. His consort is White Tara (for every dhyani Buddha there is an affiliated female Buddha).
