The Five Buddhas form a base of a Mandala, the above lotus mandala shows each of the Buddhas seed syllables in the Lanza Sanskrit, Om at the central point, Hum below in the Eastern quarter, arranged around clockwise, following the suns path, are Tram, Hri and Ah. There is variation in representation of place and colour relating to the directions, for example the Om and hum can be switched, the examples shown here are according to the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition. When writing the syllables normally from left to right, they follow in their respected order: Om, hum, Tram, Hri, Ah, as shown below. However when relating each of these letters to their assigned central and cardinal directions, the order is changed, This is apparent in the Five Buddha crown shown below and on the shrine canopy above.

The five Buddha crown, known as in Tibetan, here represented in the Uchen script style. Hand made by Tashi Mannox 2008.
