Brief Introduction of Ratnasambhava Buddha

Ratnasambhava is one of five Tathagatas symbolizing the wisdom of equality (Skt. Samatajnana). According to the commentary of Namasangiti, the author Ravisri says;

All the phenomena are devoid of essence, lacks true inherent existence and hence are dreamlike or illusion or is empty.

Thus the knowledge of essencelessness of persons and the phenomena is the wisdom of equality: Buddha Ratnasambhava is the personification of this wisdom in Vajrayana Buddhism.

In the extant literature, he has rarely described his vows, aspirations, and activity. He is usually called the Buddha born from jewel. a Sambhava Buddhas body, one’s desire would be fulfilled.
