| | The doctrines of Shingon Buddhism and the teachings of Kobo Daishi can be said to begin and end with the aspiration for the realization of enlightenment. | | | Human beings have the complete virtues of the Buddha in their own minds, and this mind that bears the virtues of the Buddha is called the mind that aspires to realize enlightenment. | | | What the belief in "be kind to all life," means is that we know the dignity of our own lives, and can discover in our own existences the realization of enlightenment and the lifeforce of the Buddha. |

| | Constructed with the support of the Tang emperors to serve as a monument for Buddhist worship, the majestic Vairocana Buddha is shown with several carved statues of other Buddhas from various worlds. | | | Not only does the Vairocana Buddha demonstrate the cultural significance Buddhism held during the Tang Dynasty, but it also shows the gradual refinement and increased sophistication of Buddhist thought and teachings over the course of its history in China. | | | The 50 foot tall Vairocana Buddha, one of several statues carved from the natural rock of the Longman Caves in Luoyang, China, stands as a testament to the popularity of Buddhism during the Tang period. |

| | The main thesis of this paper is that the Buddha form of the Vairocana Buddha with the wisdom-fist mudra is the cosmic Buddha of the Avatamsaka sect, not Mahavairocana of Tantric Buddhism. | | | The origin of this Buddha image in Buddha form is obscure. | | | The bodhisattva form of Mahavairocana Buddha is very rare in Korea, but Buddha images in monks' robes were very popular in Korea during the Unified Silla period. |

| | Some esoteric Buddhists consider Vairocana Buddha to be the Primordial Buddha which means the original source of all other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. | | | We all know that the Vairocana Buddha is the Fundamental Buddha, the Primordial Buddha from whom the True Buddha School originates in terms of lineage transmission. | | | Because Amitabha is the Buddha who requested Lotus Youth [Padmakumara] of the Great Twin Lotus Ponds to enter the human realm and transmit the True Buddha Tantra [Sanskrit: "esoteric yogic method of spiritual integration"]. |

| | As Buddha Sakyamuni finished explaining the Ten Inexhaustible Precepts of the "Mind-Ground Dharma Door" chapter, (which Vairocana Buddha had previously proclaimed in the Lotus Flower Treasury World), countless other Sakyamuni Buddhas did the same. | | | If a disciple of the Buddha joins the Order out of pure faith, receives the correct precepts of the Buddhas, but then develops thoughts of violating the precepts, he is unworthy of receiving any offerings from the faithful, unworthy of walking on the ground of his motherland, unworthy of drinking its water. | | | These precepts were customarily recited by Vairocana Buddha when he first developed the Bodhi Mind in the causal stages. |

| | Numberless Buddhas at the same time are believed to be preaching the Law to multitudes of beings living in countless worlds systems making up the Buddhist cosmos; each Buddha is teaching the Dharma using a peculiar language (and verbal language is just the most unsophisticated). | | | The whole problematic of the relics of the Buddha (one of the main features of traditional Buddhist cult) as "presences of an absence" -- traces of the absent Buddha -- indicates a strong semiotic concern. | | | In Mah‘y‘na Buddhism the Buddha is no longer simply a historical person, the teacher, the Enlightened One, but is transformed into a manifestation of the universal principle of enlightenment, a silent, eternal, numinous presence, called Dharmak‘ya ("the body of the Dharma"). |
