Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Vairochana in copper alloy, made in China during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), at the Cantor Center for Visual Arts.

From the museum description:

"...Here, he is depicted as described in the Brahmajalasutra, seated upon a lotus with 1,000 petals that emit 100,000 Buddhas, each of whom will teach the doctrine to a different universe.
"Vairochana is seated with his hands in the gesture of anointing (abhisheka mudra). ... The svastika on his chest represents the Buddhist Wheel of the Law, dharmacakra."
