Which is accurate: the largest bronze Buddha or the largest bronze Buddha? - Nat Krause 15:29, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Neither, but it is the largest bronze Vairocana Buddha =) Jpatokal 01:37, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Um, right. Well, I wonder what the largest bronze Buddha statue is, then? - Nat Krause 05:58, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hong Kong's Tian Tan Buddha is the largest bronze seated outdoor Buddha. No, I don't know if there's a bigger non-bronze, non-seated or non-outdoor Buddha out there.... Jpatokal 08:22, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Is 'largest' being measured by height, or something else, like mass or breadth here? Because if height is the measure, there are at least two taller bronze statues of Vairochana in Japan alone, made by the same company, no less![1]: the Echizen-Daibutsu in Fukui (17m)[2] and the Showa-Daibutsu in Aomori (21m)[3].

I've qualified the article to say that Vairochana often displays the Dharmachakra mudra, given the image to the right. Melchoir00:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dainichi Nyorai redirects to this article, but this article only once mentions the word Dainichi, leading me to think that this article has little or nothing to do with Dainichi Nyorai and vice versa. Can someone please clarify this for me? 172.190.90.15404:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that one mention of the word is enough: "Vairocana (also Vairochana or Mahavairocana; [...] Japanese: Dainichi Nyorai)", meaning that Dainichi Nyorai and Vairocana are two name in two different languages for the same subject. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 13:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Correct, the word "nyorai" just means "tathagata" as in the title. The actually name of the Buddha is just Vairocana or dainichi. --Ph0kin (talk) 10:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For an article this short, we have lots of good pictures of Vairocana. Perhaps we can move most of them into an album of some kind? I think it would improve readibility? --Ph0kin (talk) 10:07, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have just added archive links to one external link on Vairocana. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
