Source: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara SamadhiVajrābhiṣeka (वज्राभिषेक) refers to the “vajra-consecration”, according to the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi [i.e., Cakrasamvara Meditation] ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Your consecration today, vajra-consecrated (vajrābhiṣeka) by the sword of the Buddhas, This here, all this rank of a Buddha, seize for the attainment of the vajra”.
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.
