1. Vairochana, buddha family 毘盧遮那佛／大日如來，佛部
2. Akshobhya, vajra family　阿閦佛／不動佛，金剛部
3. Ratnasambhava, ratna family　寶生佛，寶部
4. Amitabha, padma family　阿彌陀佛／無量光佛，蓮華部
5. Amoghasiddhi, karma family　不空成就佛，事業部／羯摩部

They can be in union with the five female buddhas. See Diagram in Five buddha families article for more details. 可能顯現為與五方佛母雙運之相。詳見「五佛部」圖表。

［譯註：一般來說上述的五方佛為法身佛，但若依大圓滿法而言，法身佛乃指普賢王如來佛父母，因此不同傳承的分類可能稍有差別；另請參考本網 五方佛部主尊及相對智慧 The Five Buddha's Families and The Five Victorious Ones
