Guhyasamāja, whose name means “Assembly of Secrets” or “Secret Assembly,” is a principal meditational deity (yidam) in Vajrayana Buddhism, essential in the Highest Yoga Tantra (Anuttarayoga Tantra) tradition. He is considered a manifestation of the Buddha’s enlightened mind and is revered as a tantric form embodying the inseparable union of method and wisdom. In practice, Guhyasamāja is visualized in union with his consort, representing the ultimate non-duality beyond conceptual distinctions.
