Vairocana Buddha is regarded as the primordial or universal Buddha in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. Positioned at the center of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, Vairocana represents the dharmakaya—the truth body or absolute reality that transcends form and duality. His presence symbolizes the illumination of ultimate wisdom (prajna) and the transformation of ignorance into radiant clarity.
