Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary + (Yidams are the deities, buddhas, and bodhi … Yidams are the deities, buddhas, and bodhisattvas that form the unique support for the practices of the tantras. [TD 2565] There are a great variety of such deities, including the various classes of peaceful, wrathful, and semi-wrathful deities. Though these variations may have different appearances, this should not be taken to imply that they are fundamentally different, however. As Tenpe Nyima explains, "Though peaceful and wrathful deities may have slightly different bodies, colors, faces, hands, and so on, in terms of their compassion and enlightened activities there is no difference. They appear in accord with the inclinations of the disciple and there is no conflict between them." [KR 48] Ultimately, yidam practice is a skillful method that allows the practitioner to connect with his or her enlightened nature. For this reason, it is also important to keep the true nature of the yidam deity in mind. As Jigme Lingpa explains, "You must realize that it is Yout own mind, with its eightfold collection of consciousnesses, that arises as the form and wisdom of the deity. In its innate state, awareness itself is the enlightened mind - the fruitional form of the deity." [JL 235]he fruitional form of the deity." [JL 235])

In the latter, one realizes the inner reality of the mind and actualizes discerning wisdom. To supplement this internal process, external forms of ritual purification are also practiced.

In other words, this is the true 'swift path,' the true 'Fruition Vehicle.' All other approaches are taught according to the mind-sets of disciples to lead them to this vehicle.
