Vajradhara is considered the primordial Buddha, the adi-Buddha, in many schools of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly the Kagyu and Gelug lineages. He represents the essence of Buddhahood itself, the source from which all other Buddhas and tantric teachings emanate. Vajradhara embodies the enlightened mind free from all obscurations, holding the vajra and bell to signify the union of method and wisdom.
