Vairocana

 Recent explorations of Vairocana, the White Buddha at the centre of the 5 Buddha Mandala. He holds the Dharmachakra wheel. He is beyond time and outside space, at the place where centre and circumference meet.

More Akashadhatesvari variations

 I was on a roll exploring variations on the theme of the Lady of Vajra Space, hands in the gesture of turning the wheel of the dharma, holding the stems of two lotuses bearing a Dharmachakra and a Vajrabell. Here is a selection of these images.

Akasadhateshvari variations

 Akashadhatesvari is the Queen of Vajra space in the centre of the mandala of the five wisdoms, consort of Vairocana and embodiment of the Wisdom of Truth. I am experimenting with different ways of depicting her. I feel I have further to go to grasp her elusive essence.  In the meantime here is work in progress.

She holds two lotuses on which sit the Dharmachakra wheel and a Vajra Bell. Her hands are in the teaching mudra turning the wheel of the Dharma.
