Significance of Heterogeneous

In Tibetan Buddhism, the term Heterogeneous pertains to the concept of diversity and the recognition of different elements. It emphasizes that without perceiving this diversity, and in conjunction with understanding homogeneous and particular aspects, one is unable to form distinctive cognitions. This suggests that the inability to acknowledge varied perceptions can hinder the recognition of an object's true objective nature.

In Buddhism, "Heterogeneous" signifies the diversity of experiences and perceptions. Acknowledging this diversity, rather than perceiving things as uniform, is crucial for developing unique insights and understanding the nature of reality.

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 (vajrayana) are collected indepently.
