It depicts Vairocana Buddha, a central figure who embodies the cosmic nature of form, known as Rupa. Vairocana holds significant importance in the Buddhist tradition as one of the five Dhyani Buddhas. In this artwork, he is portrayed with his hands gracefully joined at the tips of his thumbs and forefingers, resting against his chest in the Dharma Chakra Mudra, often called the \"teaching gesture.\"This symbolic posture represents the Buddha‘s first recorded sermon, in which he shared the transformative Four Noble Truths with his followers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe teachings of the Buddha lead to the cessation of suffering and the attainment of enlightenment. Vairocana is a celestial Buddha often regarded as the dharmakaya, representing the historical Gautama Buddha. This concept is discussed in texts such as the Avatamsaka Sutra. In East Asian Buddhism, Vairocana also represents the Buddhist idea of sunyata or emptiness. He is a central figure in the Five Tathagatas of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism and is recognized as a Primordial Buddha. Vairocana embodies the essence of emptiness, and his teachings emphasize understanding the true nature of reality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe inner painting measures 8 x 10 inches (20 x 25 cm), and with the cotton brocade, the overall size is 22 x 27 inches.
