Vajradhara is the sambhogakaya manifestation of the primordial buddha Samantabhadra, the dharmakaya made visible in a form adorned with silks and jewels, holding the crossed vajra and bell that signify the inseparability of wisdom and compassion.
⚠ The Nyingma tradition regards Samantabhadra as the ultimate primordial buddha with Vajradhara as his sambhogakaya form, while the Kagyu tradition often treats Vajradhara himself as the primordial source without requiring a dharmakaya 'behind' him.
Ekajati fiercely protects the Dzogchen teachings of Samantabhadra from corruption.
Samantabhadra, the primordial buddha, abides eternally in Akanishtha, the highest pure land beyond all realms of existence, where all buddhas attain final and complete awakening.
