In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Rinchen Zangpo (Rinchen bzangpo, 958–1055ce), translated into Tibetan the Nāmasaṃgīti (also known as Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti), although it is likely that his was not the first translation. Rinchen Zangpo also translated the Nāmasaṃgīti commentaries of Mañjuśrīmitra and Mañjuśrīkīrti (respectively D 2532 and D 2534), the latter being the source of the Dharmadhātuvāgīśvaramaṇḍala.—(For an English translation and edition of the Sanskrit text of the Nāmasaṃgīti see Davidson 1981.)
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.
