Traditional Himalayan Buddhist Art of Vairocana, The Great Illuminator Statue
Using a traditional Himalayan sculpting method, we have meticulously hand-carved the Vairocana The Great Illuminator Statue. The statue of a deity is perched on a moon disc lotus seat expressing Dhyani mudra. This one of the five Dhyani Buddhas was traditionally hand-carved from pure copper and covered in real 24K gold. This traditional Himalayan artwork, which is deeply rooted in Buddhism and the Nepali religion, took us a few months to carve. It would be a perfect gift for you to help in your Buddhism practice.

Vairocana/Mahavairocana Buddha is one of the five Dhyani buddhas sitting on a lotus pedestal surrounded by hundreds of flowers in the statue. He has three heads and his hands are in a meditational posture. Adhi Buddha created Vairocana as one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. Vairocana means "luminous" or "embodiment of light" in Sanskrit. Vairocana is a Primordial Buddha who sits in the heart of the temple. He's also known as the "great lighting one," "the Life force that illuminates the cosmos."
