  • The Guhyasamaja, or "Secret Assembly," Tantra was developed at an early date in history to aid the Buddhist practitioner in understanding and practicing Tantric Buddhism to attain enlightenment. These are the basic texts of the Tantric—an esoteric and highly symbolic—form of Buddhism, which developed in India and became dominant in Tibet. The Guhyasamaja Tantra is considered in the Indian commentarial tradition to be the most important of the Mahāyoga Tantra-s (by Tibetans to be a major Tantra of the bla med rgyud or so-called anuttara-yoga-tantra, class of texts) and probably dates to the seventh century C.E. This tantra is often known as the supreme and king of all other Highest Yoga Tantras because it is taught to students of Tantric Buddhism first; it is their mastery of this yogic path that allows them to study other tantras.
