In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: eScholarship: Buddhajñānāpāda's Vision of a Tantric Buddhist WorldBuddhajñānapāda (बुद्धज्ञानपाद) is the author of the Muktitilaka.—(Cf. Yogasapta).—The “seven yogas”, mentioned in Buddhajñānapāda’s Muktitilaka and elaborated in Vaidyapāda’s Yogasapta, are seven aspects of the resultant state of awakening. It seems that in this system it was in terms of these seven yogas that suchness was communicated by the Guru to the disciple. The seven yogas are mentioned by Buddhajñānapāda in the Muktitilaka, where they are described as the “perfection stage of the perfection stage,” (Muktitilaka, D 52a.2), and are also said to be realized instantaneously by a Yogin engaged in post-initiatory practice (cārya) (Muktitilaka, D 51b). These seven yogas, which are mentioned but not listed in the Muktitilaka, thus seem to refer in Buddhajñānapāda’s work to practices that are to be carried out by the Yogin subsequent to initiation. In Vaidyapāda’s Yogasapta, however, the seven yogas are explained in much greater detail as seven states or experiences that the student is meant to undergo in the context of initiation—specifically during what is called “the fourth”.
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.
