Ebook: The Enlightenment of Vairocana

The Enlightenment of Vairocana and the Study of the Mahavairocana Sutra constitute probably the most important text in Esoteric Buddhism. It is based on this text that Nagarjuna propagated the doctrine and created the Matrix and Diamond World Mandalas that Kobo Daishi brought back to Japan in the 9th century. It is basically a description of the two mandalas, how they should be set up, which deities should be placed in what position, and what their specific mantras and mudras are, for the purpose of worship, teaching initiates, and identifying with the nature of the buddhas.
