Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of Heroesso shing (སོ་ཤིང) refers to a “tooth-cleaning stick” which is mentioned as a preliminary 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 after a sipping water for purification and others (e.g., so shing, ‘tooth-cleaning stick’). 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.
