Yidam is explained as a contraction of yid-kyi-dam-tshig, samāyā of mind. Yidams are sambhogakāya buddhas, which are visualized in accordance with the psychological makeup of the practitioner. The student first develops intense devotion toward his gru. This relationship makes it possible for the student to experience intuitive kinship with the lineage and then with his yidam. Identifying with the yidam means identifying with his characteristic expression of buddha nature, free of distortions. Through seeing his basic nature in this universalized way, all aspects of it are transmuted into the wisdom of the spiritual path. This leads directly to compassionate action-skillful and lucid.<br> Peaceful yidams inspire the student's gentleness, awakening openness. Semiwrathful yidams are the union of passion and anger in the transcendental sense-simultaneous magnetizing and destroying as an expression of the awakened state.
