The Five Dhyani Buddhas, often referred to as the Pancha Buddha, embody distinct qualities of Shakyamuni Buddha. Also recognized as the Five Wisdom Tathagatas, they hold immense significance within Vajrayana Buddhism. These revered figures encompass Vairochana, Akshobhya, Amitabha, Ratnasambhava, and Amoghasiddhi.
Symbolizing various paradises situated in different cardinal directions—Central, East, West, North, and South—the Five Buddhas hold their unique domains. Vairochana, Akshobhaya, Amitabha, Ratnasambhava, and Amoghasiddhi collectively manifest profound wisdom and diverse aspects of enlightenment. Artistic representations depict the five Dhyani Buddhas in remarkably similar forms, each adorned in monastic attire, seated with legs crossed, and sporting identical hairdos and elongated earlobes. However, they are discerned through unique color schemes, emblematic symbols, hand gestures, and the directions they are oriented towards.
