十四世紀 西藏 銅毗卢遮那佛像
Provenance: the Burkhart collection, acquired in Zug, Switzerland, in 1998
來源： Burkhart舊藏，1998年獲得於瑞士楚格
Vairocana (Tib. rNam-par snang-mdzad), whose name may be translated as 'the Illuminator' or 'He who radiates like the sun,' is the Tathagata who presides over the centre of the cosmic mandala of the pancakula, the family of the five meditation Buddhas (dhyani Buddhas). Within this cosmological scheme Vairocana occupies the central position of the universe and, in certain mandala representations, assumes the role of the primordial Buddha, with whom he is sometimes identified; in such contexts he is referred to as Mahavairocana. His iconographic colour is white and his principal symbol is the Wheel of the Law (), representing the Buddha's teaching. In later depictions the wheel is sometimes shown resting within his hands.
The present large sculpture depicts Vairocana richly adorned and seated in , the full meditative posture, on a double lotus throne encircled by a beaded border. His hands are held in , the gesture uniting skilful means () and wisdom (), symbolising enlightenment and the Buddha's all-encompassing knowledge.
Compare with a similar statue of Tathagata Vairocana, Western Tibet, 14th century, illustrated in , Zurich, 1995, p.65.
