Hall for Virocana Buddha in Ansimsa Temple
Viorocana Buddha seems to have special meaning and post in Buddhism. Virocana looks like to have a similar meaning with the concept of GOD in Aristotle's philosophy, in my guess. Buddhism is not my major interest, so my knowledge is limited to explain the meaning of Virocana. But in many point, for example, the characteristics between Aristotle's concept of God and Virocana looked like very similar. Aristotle described God as the principle working the Universe. In my view, Virocana also has the same characteristics as Aristotles' God.
The Hall for Virocana in this temple was named 'Jeok Myeol Jeon' which meant 'absolute silence place. Here they describe Virocana as of the silence. The silence means the principle of the Universe being moved.
Virocana Buddha Statue is a symbol of its existence. We can't not see his appearance. We just could feel him elsewhere. Only enlighted people can feel its existence.
There were other Buddha statue and the painting. It was a pity that I could not understand the meaning. But I knew those were great things.
Wow, you really captured the energy @slowwalker
That is interesting that you parallel the characteristics between Aristotle's concept of God and Virocana.
One could say there are many similarities, but, I believe it would be more Virocana than Aristotle's that is leaning into another way of thinking.
I will have to read up on that. You bring a very interesting point up.
Thank you once again for your thoughts shared and generous information.

Thank you so much on your comment
I ve thought the similarity could be a good theme for philosophy

@slowwalker, You found and sharing great opinion about Virocana Buddha with comparing Aristotle's concept of the god. I never seen any statues of Virocana Buddha previously.Yeah.. I believe Virocana Buddha had extra especial meaning of Buddhism because it can feel existence only enlighted people. Seems totally silence hall. Your capture shows it nicely.
Nice!

I like that in Buddhism is one of the religion where nobody force people to accept it. It is open and it is there, if people feel like they need it they accept it. I believe one of the attractive side is that there are many attractive sides of it that reflect different personalities. For many artists it is a discovery where you just caught by the high skilled Artworks and handcraft that was done many centuries before. Seeing that people start to dig and learn more and more. When they then found the original of it they may decided to accept it. In my opinion that is the best way of spreading Buddhism.
