In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Drakpa Gyaltsen (grags pa rgyal mtshan) in Tibetan refers to one of the “Eight Emanations” (in Sakya).—[While describing the general history of the Sakya philosophical system, regarding the Khön family line]: Sachen Künga Nyingpo (1092–1158) is the son of Khön Könchok Gyalpo (1034–1102).—When the noble lord, the glorious Atiśa, arrived in Tibet, he saw two wild yaks on the slopes of Sakya Mountain and prophesied that good deeds would be performed by two Mahākālas: the two were Gur and Shel. He prostrated toward the whitish earth: there were seven dhīḥ syllables and one hūṃ syllable, so he prophesied that eight emanations [e.g., Drakpa Gyaltsen] would work for the sake of beings.
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.
