In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: Jewels of the Middle WayĀtmasaṃvedana (आत्मसंवेदन) refers to “reflexive cognition”, according to Kamalaśīla’s Tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā —The Sanskrit equivalents for tshu rol thong ba are arvāgdarśana, arvāgdṛś, or aparadarśana. As noted by Keira (2004, 94), Kamalaśīla explains in his Tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā that people of narrow vision (tshu rol thong ba) have three types of direct perception—sense cognition (indriyajñāna), mental [cognition] (mānasa), and reflexive cognition (ātmasaṃvedana), but such people do not have yogipratyakṣa, which directly understands emptiness (śūnyatā). Atiśa and the Kadampa commentary will repeatedly mention that the direct perception and inferences of those with narrow vision cannot understand the two realities nor cognize emptiness.
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.
