In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Sydney eScholarship Repository: A Study of the Karma Chapter of the Abhidharmakośa CommentariesBhinnalāpitā (भिन्नलापिता) (Tibetan: ngag kyal) refers to “idle talk”.—The Eighth Karmapa, following the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya, maintains that, in general, all words generated by afflictive mind are idle talk. However, lying, divisive speech and harsh speech are discussed separately owing to the severe gravity of their wrongdoing.—Therefore, it follows that somniloquy and the words of insane persons would not qualify as idle talk since they are not generated by intentional and conscious thought of afflictive emotions. Here the Eighth Karmapa simply draws points from the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya.
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.
