History Background 

Dainichi is more commonly known by his Sanskrit name, Vairocana, worshipped as a part of the 5 Dhayani Buddhas or 5 Buddha families. He is sometimes also referred to as the “primordial Buddha” and regarded as the embodiment of “Dharmakaya”, the ultimate, formless truth body of the Buddha. He also represents Emptiness (Shunyata) and is often depicted performing the Dharmacakra (teaching) mudra, symbolizing that he can teach us the way to achieve Emptiness and Enlightenment. As the realization of Emptiness is the direct counter to ignorance, our prayers to this Buddha can help us to cut away ignorance, gain wisdom and help us to realise the ultimate truth and nature of all things. This is very powerful and one of the two aspects we need to attain full Enlightenment (the other being Bodhicitta, Great Compassion).  

Black Obsidian Properties  

Obsidian is formed when volcanic lava comes into contact with water. Thereafter it was forced to cool so quickly that it doesn’t have time to crystallize resulting in a stone with a shiny, glassy texture. Black Obsidian is an extremely powerful, fast acting and protective stone. It is said to form a shield against negativity and to absorb negative energies from the environment. Because of this, it should be cleansed regularly in running water to remove the negative energies. In healing aspect, Obsidian is believed to reduce the pain of arthritis, to help joint problems and to ease cramp. It is also said to aid digestion too.
