For example, during the ‘pendulum recitation’ (dolājāpa) the couple is in union, each imagining the five blazing syllables of Vilāsinī’s mantra circulating through their bodies. The syllables start on the sex of the female consort (vidyā), enter the male via his penis, exit through his nostril, enter the vidyā via her nostril, and again pass into her sex. The mantra is recited up to five hundred times as it revolves through their united bodies, resulting in the fusion of nāda and drop (bindu) within the internal bodily channels.

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.
