Dhyani Buddhas are emanated from Adhi Buddha. There are five Dhyani Buddhas( Buddhas in meditation). They are not separate Gods. They are just abstract aspects of Buddhahood. Five Dhyani Buddhas, or Great Buddhas of Wisdom, are a central feature of Tibetan Buddhist belief and art. They are often found in Tibetan mandalas and thangkas, thousands of stupas, chaityas, and Buddhist entrance of the house. Each Buddha is believed to be capable of overcoming a particular evil with a particular good, and each has a complete system of iconographic symbolism. They are believed to represent the five great moments in the life of Buddha, the five typical elements of Indian philosophy or the five directions. However the most important attribute that esoteric Buddhism places upon this set of five Buddhas is their ability to transform the five great human delusions into specific positive attributes.

1).Shakyamuni Buddha Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni
2).Medicine Buddha-Akshobhya Dược Sư
