'''Ādi-Buddha''' (Tibetan: Dang-po'i sangs-rgyas) is a compound [[Sanskrit]] term from ''ādi'' (आदि) "first" and ''buddha'', meaning the "Primordial Buddha." In [[Vajrayana Buddhism]] the term refers to a self-emanating, self-originating Buddha, present before anything else existed. It is not said to be the creator, but the originator of all things.

== In Vajrayana Buddhism ==
 
Adi-Buddha is a deity in an emanationist sense. Though all Buddhist figures are said to be emanations of the Adi-Buddha, certain famous Bodhisattvas are revered as its actual personality. This personality is often referred to as Dharmakaya, or "Buddha-body of reality." For example, in the Nyingma school Samantabhadra is Adibuddha, in the sense of Spirit of Truth. In the Gelug and Kagyu schools Vajradhara (Tib. Dorje Chang) is regarded as Adi-Buddha, while in Shingon Buddhism it is Vairocana (Jap. Dainchi Nyorai).
