It is the essence of all things in the universe, and is the eternal and unchanging true nature in the three worlds of the past, present, and future. The five wisdoms and five aspects of wisdom are represented by the Vajrayana Vairocana, who makes the wisdom fist mudra and wears the five wisdom jewel crown of the bodhisattva form. On the other hand, in the Womb Realm, they also wear a Bodhisattva-shaped jeweled crown and make the Dharma mudra, representing the innate virtue of reason that transcends empirical knowledge. In Tendai Buddhism, Dainichi Nyorai and Shaka Nyorai are considered to be the same entity with Dharmakaya and Manifesto, while in Esoteric Buddhism they are considered to be separate entities from the Shaka Nyorai of exoteric Buddhism.
