Twelve Tenma Sisters (Wyl. bstan ma bcu gnyis) — female protector deities of Tibet, bound under oath by Guru Padmasambhava at Asura cave, in present day Pharping, Nepal[1].
They consist of the Four Female Demons (Tib. Dümo Shyi), the Four Menmo's (Tib. Menmo Shyi) and the Four Yakshinis (Skt.; Tib. Nöjin Shyi).
