Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesThe Outer Universe is also present in the body of each individual.—The Saṃvara tradition has the idea in common that the abstract structure of the outer universe (the external) is also present in the body of each individual practitioner (the internal): they are non-dual. According to the Bohitā (D 1419, 133 r 1–r 2), the external means the strata of [the Five Elements] such as the Earth [Element] (sa la sogs pa dkyil ’khor) and the Three Realms [comprising the Five Elements] (khams gsum), and the internal refers to the physical body comprising the [Five] Elements such as the Earth [Element] (sa la sogs pa’i khams kyi rang bzhin gyi lus).
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.
