Tenma goddesses

The Tenma goddesses are twelve guardian deities in the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism. In hierarchy, they fall under Palden Lhamo, one of the eight Dharmapala deities.

In Dharamsala, India, there is a Tenma oracle, for which a young Tibetan woman is the "kuten", which literally means, "the physical basis"..
