The 35 Tathagathas: Prabhasasri

"The Glorious Light" (od-dpal, Prabhasasri) abides in the north-east in the heavenly field 'endowed with great significance.' His body is white in color and he holds a ring of white light. "Light" refers to his pristineawareness which, like the sun, dispels the gloom of both the obscurations to liberation and omniscience of himself and others' "Glorious" refers to both his function and his excellent quality as noted before.
