Dhyani Buddha – Buddha of spiritual transformation
Five Dhyani Buddhas and Their Help on the Spiritual Path
- Vairochana Buddha helps transform delusion and ignorance into wisdom. This wisdom is achieved through meditation, comprehension of emptiness and primordial space. Vairochana is the primordial wisdom of the realm of reality and represents the cosmic element of form.
-
Akshobhya Buddha helps transform human anger into pure, mirror-like wisdom. With this wisdom, we see things as they really are, looking at them impartially. The mirror is not angry. It simply reflects whether it is a beautiful flower or a bloody dagger. It does not condemn or show emotions. The mirror always remains calm and unshakable. So we must remain unperturbed no matter what circumstances surround us.

Buddha Ratnasambhava transforms such a negative trait as pride into the wisdom of equality. This wisdom allows us to see the human community that underlies all men and women. He makes us see ourselves in all other human beings that are organically integrated into the general stream of humanity. In this state of enlightenment, there is no one better or worse than others, which leaves no chance for pride to exist.

Amitabha Buddha is the fourth and oldest of the five transcendental Buddhas, personifying the five original wisdom of meditation. It helps transform the poison of desire and attachment into the wisdom of recognition. With its help, we can reorient our external sensory perceptions inward, into a higher state of meditative concentration. The ultimate goal of such meditation is to unite with the Universal Consciousness, which pervades all material realities.

Amoghasiddhi Buddha is the lord of karma. He changes such a negative human trait as envy, into a positive one – the wisdom of accomplishment. Amoghasiddhi personifies the wisdom of all completed activities, which transforms the poison of envy. Envy can be considered as a positive human emotion only as much as it nourishes our ambitions and makes us reach great heights in life. And its negative manifestation is explained by the fact that it is almost always accompanied by bitterness in relation to who is the subject of our envy.
