A gallery of miscellaneous images from various sets of the Twelve Dzogchen Buddhas of the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. These twelve figures are found in the Revealed Treasure text called the Three Inner Cycles of Peaceful Deities discovered by Choggyur Lingpa. Only four or five of the Buddhas in the group of twelve have Buddha Appearance. The remaining eight or so Buddhas have Peaceful, Semi-peaceful/wrathful and Wrathful Appearance. The specific appearance of each of the twelve Buddhas is not consistent between the miscellaneous paintings and the initiation card set. Although popularized by Choggyur Lingpa in the 19th century, these Twelve Buddhas were already well established in the 'Revealed Treasure' tradition.

Painting Sets:

- Set 1 (one of three paintings)

- Set 2 (one of twelve or thirteen paintings)

- Gold Set 3 (two of twelve or thirteen paintings)

- Initiation Cards (complete set)
