Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of Heroesmar me (མར་མེ) refers to a “lamp” which is mentioned as an offering suitable for Yoga practice, according to the Bohitā commentary on the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] A Yogin should offer water for a respectful reception and so on (e.g., mar me, ‘lamp’) after a sipping water for purification and others. Employing an image, the Blessed One taught a visualization by [use of] a cloth [painting] and other [devices]. [...]”.
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.
