Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of Heroesthur sel (ཐུར་སེལ) refers to apāna and represents one of the two Vital Airs.—According to the Bohitā (D 1419, 135 r 4–r 5), the nectar (mentioned in Ḍākārṇava-tantra verse 15.14) means the vi mu śu ra ma, the five-fold nectar (excrement, urine, semen, menstrual blood, and human flesh). The articles originated in himself refer to fluid essences flowing in the practitioner’s body, which represent all constituents of his body. The fluid essences emerge by controlling the “moonrise and sunrise,” which refers to the movement of two vital airs, prāṇa (srog) and apāna (thur sel).
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.
