From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vairocana (also Mahāvairocana) is a cosmic buddha [en] in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. Books like the Avatamsaka Sutra [en] say he incarnated as the historical Gautama Buddha[1][2][3]. In many Asian traditions, he is believed to be emptiness [en] itself. In the concept of the Five Tathagatas [en] in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, Vairocana is in the center and is seen as a Primordial Buddha [en].
