Source: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara SamadhiDevasaṃgha (देवसंघ) refers to the “divine hosts” and is used to describe Indra, according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Great guardians beginning with Indra, Lokapālas very powerful, Gods standing in the ten directions, Lokapālas I give homage. Indra holding a Vajra, with the divine hosts (saha-devasaṃgha), seize this excellent offering. [...]”.
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.
