Everything about Vajradhara totally explained
Vajradhara is the ultimate Primordial
Buddha, or
Adi Buddha, according to the
cosmology of
Tibetan Buddhism. Vajradhara displaced
Samantabhadra Buddha in
Gelug and
Kagyu mythologies, but is metaphysically equivalent. Achieving the 'state of vajradhara' is synonymous with complete realisation.
From the primordial Vajradhara/Samantabhadra were manifested the
Five Wisdom Buddhas (Dhyani Buddhas):
Vajradhara and the Widsom Buddhas are often subjects of
mandala.
Vajradhara and Samantabhadra are cognate deities with different names, attributes, appearances and iconography. Both are
Dharmakaya Buddhas, that's primordial Buddhas, where Samantabhadra is unadorned, that's depicted without any attributes. Conversely, Vajradhara is often adorned and bears attributes, which is generally the iconographic representation of a
Sambhogakaya Buddha. Both Vajradhara and Samantabhadra are generally depicted in
yab-yum unity and are primordial buddhas, embodying
void and ultimate emptiness.
