Tenma goddesses
The Tenma goddesses are twelve guardian deities in Tibetan Buddhism.Other times, they are part of the retinue of the Bönpo goddess, Sidpa Gyalmo.Some stories say that the goddesses were hostile to the spread of Buddhism during this time while others said that they refused to give their life essence to Padmasambhava and wanted to keep protecting Tibet.Either ways, Padmasabhava defeated them and bound them to an oath to protect the dharma.[2] In Dharamsala, India, there is a Tenma oracle, for which a young Tibetan woman is the kuten, which literally means, "the physical basis".
