Vairochana Buddha

Images of the Buddha are usually gilded because one of the thirty-two characteristics that marked the Buddha at birth was skin that shone like gold. Chinese Buddists interpreted the golden color as an expression of the Buddha's sunlike spiritual radiance, his inner purity, and the inestimable worth of his teachings.
