	Vairocana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vairocana is the central figure of many early schools of Buddhism in Japan, including esoteric Shingon Buddhism and Kegon Buddhism.
		In addition, Vairocana is often tied to the Hua-Yen school of Buddhist philosophy that was prominent during the Tang Dynasty.
		Vairocana was gradually superseded as an object of reverence by Amitabha Buddha in Japan, but his legacy still remains in Shingon Buddhism and Todaiji temple with its massive bronze statue.

	Buddha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Buddha is fully awakened and has realized the ultimate truth, the non-dualistic nature of life, and thus ended (for himself) the suffering which unawakened people experience in life.
		However, a Buddha recognizes the unchanging nature of the Dharma, which is an eternal principle and an unconditioned and timeless phenomenon.
		Some schools of Mahayana Buddhism believe that the Buddha is no longer essentially a human being but has become a being of a different order altogether and that the Buddha, in his ultimate transcendental "body/mind" mode as Dharmakaya, has an eternal and infinite life (see eternal Buddha) and is possessed of great and immeasurable qualities.

	Buddhism Society - Sutras (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		As a Buddha's disciple, he ought to nurture a mind of compassion and filial piety, always devising expedient means to rescue and protect all beings.
		If a disciple of the Buddha joins the Order out of pure faith, receives the correct precepts of the Buddhas, but then develops thoughts of violating the precepts, he is unworthy of receiving any offerings from the faithful, unworthy of walking on the ground of his motherland, unworthy of drinking its water.
		A disciple of the Buddha who becomes a monk with wholesome intentions must not, for fame or profit, explain the precepts to kings or officials in such a way as to cause monks, nuns or laymen who have received the Bodhisattva precepts to be tied up, thrown into prison or forcefully conscripted.
