Chakrasamvara is also known as Samvara, a potent form of Heruka, which is one of the principal yidam meditation deities of the Sarma schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Samvara is most often depicted with a blue-colored body, four faces and twelve arms. The archetypal nature of Chakrasamvara empowers us to use our inherent enlightened ability to simultaneously operate both within the worlds of samsara (illusion) and nirvana (absolute truth and bliss). This capacity allows us to be of greater service to other sentient beings due to the fact that we gain greater insight into the circumstances of samsara and thus know how to deal with difficult situations more effectively.
