Cakrasamvara

Many tutelary deities, the so-called “Yidam”, can trace back their origins to the ancient religious traditions of India, from where they found their way into the divine world of Tibetan Buddhism as manifestations of various buddhas or bodhisattvas. They lead and protect, in their meditations, those who are initiated in the secret teachings; they allow the lay person to understand that, in observing them, he stands at the border of a meditative, spiritual world.
