Vajradhara, Buddha (Tibetan: dor je chang, sang gye. English: the Vajra Holder, Enlightened One). The primordial buddha (本初佛), personification of the dharmakaya - truth body of enlightenment and progenitor of the Vajrayana system of Buddhism. The New (Sarma) Schools, from the 11th century onward, believe that Vajradhara is the secret, or inner, form of Shakyamuni Buddha and the combined essence of all the buddhas of the ten directions and three periods of time gathered as one. In Anuttarayoga Tantra (无上瑜伽部) it is Vajradhara who emanates forth the forms of the Five Symbolic Buddhas and Vajrasattva followed by the meditational deities such as Guhyasamaja(密集金刚), Shri Hevajra(喜金刚) and Chakrasamvara(胜乐金刚). According to the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism Vajradhara is an activity emanation(化身) of buddha Samantabhadra(普贤佛).
