“Vairochana”

“Then, for all five of the friends, the energies stopped racing and the emotions ceased to be felt. A golden bubble appeared in their mind’s eye. A white lotus blossom bloomed within the bubble. An ochre pillow formed above the flower. And then, atop the pillow, a body came into focus. It was the living presence of the most beautiful being they had ever seen. His face glowed with a divine pinky-white light. A golden, pyramidal crown rested lightly on his head. A deep blue cloth lay on his shoulders. Sapphire-blue ribbons twined themselves over his arms. A golden pendant, in the form of a spoked wheel, hung on his chest, and a golden star, attached to a silk ribbon, enwrapped his neck. The tapered fingers of his hands were interlaced at the thumbs and forefingers. The face of this man or god was androgynously beautiful, but its physical perfections were far outshone by the spiritual grandeur radiating from it. Nothing about the man related to things of the earth. He was spirit appearing in the guise of body, and it was obvious that his spirit had attained all that there was to be attained.”
