About Mahavairocana

Mahāvairocana, a cosmic buddha in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, is often regarded as the dharmakāya of the historical Gautama Buddha. Representing the embodiment of śūnyatā, or emptiness, Mahāvairocana holds a central position in East Asian Buddhism. As one of the 5 Jinas, or supreme buddhas, Mahāvairocana is considered a Primordial Buddha. Not to be confused with Vairocana Mahabali, Mahāvairocana signifies the Dharmakaya body, while Rocana Buddha embodies the Sambhogakaya body. Shakyamuni Buddha, on the other hand, represents the Nirmanakaya body.
