Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: Studies in History, Myths, Rituals and Beliefs in Tibetstag gzig (སྟག་གཟིག) is identified by scholars as Persia and contains the land of 'ol-mo lung-ring, according to the gZer mig (by Drang-rje btsun-pa gSer-mig): an ancient Tibetan text dealing Bon: an indigenous shamanistic tradition of Tibet.—Accordingly, Bonpo tradition maintains that the ultimate source of Bon is the land of 'ol-mo lung-ring, said to be a part of sTag-gzig (Tazig). This so-called sTag-gzig is identified by scholars as Persia. The question as to whether 'ol-mo lung-ring means anything in Tibetan cannot readily be answered. The traditional explanation is as follows: 'ol signifies unborn, mo undiminishing, lung the words of gShen-rab, and ring the everlasting compassion of gShen-rab. [...] It forms of a part of this world, because it is situated in sTag-gzig in the west, and yet it is imperishable, for when ultimately this world is consumed by fire, it will raise itself up into the sky and unite with another Bonpo heaven in the heavens, called Srid-pa ye-sangs.
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.
