Yidam who serves as a spiritual guide, protector, and a focus of

meditation. The practitioner does meditation to forge a strong
link with this inner guide and teacher. One of the beings listed
below is often chosen as a Yidam or guide for the initiate.

signs
One function of these guides is to inspire creativity, for they can

serve as muses. However their traditional role is guide to the
spiritual traveler who seeks knowledge of and access to the
many inner worlds one may encounter during meditation. This
kind of visionary experience is a stepping stone to the ultimate
Buddhist goal of liberation from suffering (enlightenment).
The contemplative images here can serve as maps describing the
geography of the inner spiritual worlds. They can also
familiarize the reader with the values and ideals of Buddhism
and the Tibetan tradition.
We hope that the material presented here will encourage an
interest in Tantric Buddhist meditation and visualization, and
make the infinite realms of Spirit more accessible to the seeker.
Enjoy the journey!
