-As for "[[Three Roots]]", just as the root is the cause or basis for trees and flowers to grow, the guru and so forth are causes or roots for blessings and so on to occur.  Numerous treasure root texts mention:
-''The lord [[guru]] is the root blessings.<br>
-''The [[yidam]] [[deity]] is source of accomplishments. ([[siddhis]])<br>
-''Bless me fully, dakinis.
-The [[Three Roots]] are therefore the especially excellent Precious Ones of [[Vajrayana]].  The guru's body ''is'' the [[Sangha]], guru's speech is sacred [[Dharma]], and guru's mind is [[Buddha]].  Peaceful, passionate, or wrathful--whatever forms the yidams manifest--their natures are [[sambhogakaya]] and [[nirmanakaya]] [[buddhas]], and their tantras of [[Mantrayana]] are this extraordinary [[Dharma]].  The [[dakini]]s and [[Dharma protector]]s are the [[special sangha]].  Since the [[yidam]]s and [[dakini]]s both appear from the guru's wisdom display, the [[guru]] is dignified with the title ''Lord of the Circle''.
