Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesUpacchandohavāsinī (उपच्छन्दोहवासिनी) refers to “those who dwell in the Upacchandoha Holy Sites”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: [while describing the earth-circle (medinīcakra)]: “Thirty-six Yoginīs, [who] go on the ground, are [on the spokes] in order. [The Yoginīs are]—[...] Having the nature of wisdom and means, [every] goddess dwells in the upacchandoha (“near to the milking together”) [holy site] [e.g., upacchandohavāsinī]. She is [of] the Immediacy Level and is the Wisdom Perfection. [She] lives in the fifth continent. [...]”.
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.
