Description
The Buddhist concept of the "rainbow body", the penultimate transitional state of meditation in which matter begins to be transformed into pure light. It is said to be the highest state attainable in the realm of Samsara before the "clear light" of Nirvana.
As the spectrum contains within it self all possible manifestation of light, and thus of color, the rainbow body signifies the awakening of the inner self to the complete reservoir of terrestrial knowledge that is possible to access before stepping over the threshold to the state of Nirvana.
