Five Tathāgatas
Representations of the five qualities of the Adi-Buddha
Five Tathāgatas
In Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, the Five Tathāgatas (Skt: पञ्चतथागत, pañcatathāgata); (Ch: 五方佛, Wǔfāngfó) or Five Wisdom Tathāgatas (Ch: 五智如来, Wǔzhì Rúlái); (Mn: Язгуурын таван бурхан, Yazguuryn Tavan Burkhan) , are the five cardinal male and female Buddhas that are inseparable co-equals, although the male cardinal Buddhas are more often represented. Collectively, the male and female Buddhas are known as the Five Buddha Families (pañcabuddhakula). The five are also called the Five Great Buddhas or the Five Jinas (Skt. for "conqueror" or "victor"). They are understood to manifest in humans as Five Wisdom Energies, which are both personality tendencies and corresponding enlightened states of being.
