Source: archive.org: Vajra, The Cult Of The Deity VajrakilaKāyamaṇḍala (कायमण्डल).—In the kāyamaṇḍala of the combined aṣṭamahāsādhanas, the deity to be contemplated within the secret (genital) centre (guhyacakra) is Vajrakīla. Here, however, within the kāyamaṇḍala of the canonized Padmasambhava in his kīla-wielding form, the guhyacakra is said to be the abode of Yakṣa Me-dbal in the form of a demonic blacksmith.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
