Samantabhadra is the Lord of the Truth in Buddhhism, who represents the practice and meditation of all Buddhas together with shakyamuni and fellow disciple Manjusri he forms the Shakyamuni trinity. He is the patron of the Lotus sutra and, according to the Avatamsaka Sutra, made the ten great vows which are the basis of a bodhisattva. Samantabhadra is most commonly described as a bodhisattva himself, although some esoteric traditions regard him as a primordial Buddha.
Samantabhadra is the primordial Buddha associated with compassion and is known as a protector of the sutra.Samantabhadra is the antecedent of all and the expanse of reality. Samantabhadra is blue in color symbolizing emptiness essence of our mind and Samantabhadri is white in color sybmolizing clear knowing aspect of the mind. The unity of emptiness and cognizant aspect is thus depicted in male and female form of Adi - Buddha. Adi - Buddha never meant first Buddha or creator of the Universe.
