Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesKakāraka (ककारक) or Kakāra refers to the “letter ka” (symbolizing the state of not being located anywhere, etc.), according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] (The meaning of the letter ka, i.e., not being located anywhere, etc.—) Ka [refers to] all that I repeat narrating in the non-duality of consciousness. [It is] not located anywhere (kvacit); hence, [it is] the letter ka [eg., kakāraka]. Therefore, [it is] not [that] direct perception of things is void; [it is] of the nature of the pure reality. [...]”.
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.
