Vajradhara
This is a copy of
a 14th century rupa now in the Museum Rietberg Zurich. In this book, Professor Huntington states: "Vajradhara is the primordial Adi Buddha, the highest manifestation of enlightenment, a visual reification of the truth-body (dharma kaya). His images convey the universal state of enlightenment through the vehicle of the bliss-body (sambhoga kaya) that communicates to practitioners the transcendent truth body. This purely realizational state is the essence of every Buddha and is, by definition, inexplicable and unknowable except through the direct experience of enlightenment through meditation."
