Chakrasamvara is an emanation of Vajradhara — the heruka form through which the primordial buddha transmits the mother tantra teachings. The Chakrasamvara Tantra traces its authority directly to Vajradhara's revelation to the mahasiddhas.
Vajradhara, the primordial dharmakaya buddha in Vajrayana doctrine, manifests as Gautama Buddha in nirmanakaya form to teach the Dharma in the human realm.
Vajrasattva emanates from Vajradhara as the sambhogakaya expression of primordial purity, the diamond being who transmits the tantric precepts and whose hundred-syllable mantra purifies all transgressions.
Vajradhara was transmitted directly from Indian Vajrayana into Tibetan Buddhism, where he became the primordial Buddha of the Kagyu lineage and the form in which the guru is visualized during tantric practice.
