Source: De Gruyter: A Fragment of the VajrāmṛtamahātantraKarmaprasara (कर्मप्रसर) is the name of the fifth chapter of the Vajrāmṛtatantra or Vajrāmṛtamahātantra: one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yoginītantras, probably datable to between the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. Chapter 5 (karmaprasara-nirdeśa) prescribes the way to produce the collyrium that is used for ritual purposes. The Bhagavān continues his teaching from the previous section. The collyrium is produced using human fat, lampblack, a skull, the head of an owl, human blood, etc. It is used, together with a mantra that has to be recited ten thousand times, in order to neutralize demons, to destroy enemies, etc.
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.
