five Buddha families
five Buddha families. The fivefold classificatory system for
Buddhas,
Bodhisattvas, and other divine beings derived from the middle period
Mahāyāna sūtra tradition and adopted by the later
tantras. Each family is headed by a particular Buddha endowed with specific qualities. The families are the
Tathāgata Family (
Vairocana), the Vajra Family (
Akṣobhya), the Jewel Family (
Ratnasaṃbhava), the Lotus Family (
Amitābha), and the Action Family (
Amoghasiddhi). The five Buddha family system replaced the earlier
three Buddha family scheme.
