Source: OAPEN: Tibetan Yoga and Mysticismskyo shas (སྐྱོ་ཤས) refers to a “sense of weariness (with saṃsāra)”, according to the Dags po'i bka' 'bum (or Dakpö Kabum)—A collection of Tibetan historical texts from the twelfth century dealing with the community of Bka' brgyud Buddhist sect from the Dags po region of southern Tibet.—Accordingly, [while narrating the life story of Bsod nams rin chen or Sönam Richen]: Bsod nams rin chen studied Atiśa’s teachings on the stages of the path and practiced the associated contemplations, which made his previous meditation experiences of bliss and clarity decrease. Instead he started to feel a stronger sense of weariness (skyo shas) with saṃsāra and a strong wish for renunciation

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.
