Eighty-four mahasiddhas

Tibetan: གྲུབ་ཐོབ་བརྒྱད་ཅུ་རྩ་བཞི་, Wylie: grub thob brgyad cu rtsa, Sanskrit: caturaśītisiddha.

Mahasiddha is a term for someone who embodies and cultivates the “siddhi of perfection”, a yogi who has attained the supreme accomplishment, or siddhi. The Mahasiddhas (Tibetan: གྲུབ་ཆེན་, Wylie: grub chen) were tantra practitioners (tantrikas) who had sufficient empowerments and teachings to act as a guru or tantric master. The lives of the 84 great siddhas of ancient India have been recounted by Abhayadatta (Tibetan: མི་འཇིགས་པ་སྦྱིན་པ་, Wylie: mi ‘jigs pa sbyin pa).
