The Jina is part of a group of 5 buddha's belonging to the Mahayana. They are in perpetual meditation, traditionally associated with one of the five regions of space (the four cardinal points and the zenith), a color, a mount, a specific canonical gesture, a quality they exalt and a defect that they fight especially. They each have a double female, their " prajna " or wisdom with which they can be represented united. They are also called Tathagata " those went well". Their group includes: Vairocana in the center, east Akshobhya , Ratnasambhava south , Amitabha in the west and north Amoghasiddhi .
