Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesArūpyadevatī (अरूप्यदेवती) refers to the “goddesses of the formless realm”, 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: “[...] [By means of things of the nature of] the great pleasure and so on, divine, and described in detail (or disapproved) by all Buddhas, oblation of the nature of the triple world is [to be made], by means of all things [as much as] possible. Gaurī and the other [goddesses] reside in the six realms [of reincarnation] and are goddesses of the Form, Formless (arūpyadevatī), and the other (viz., Desire) [Realms] [rūpyārūpyādidevatī]. [These goddesses] make offerings to the whole circle naturally [inclusive] of all things. [...]”.
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.
