In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsDzokchen (in Tibetan: rdzogs chen; Sanskrit: mahāsandhi) — In the Nyingma as well as Bön traditions, the “great perfection” is an advanced tantric perspective and practice in which one opens oneself to the primordial perfection that is the intrinsic nature of oneself and all beings. It is regarded by Nyingmapas as the supreme attainment, functioning for them much like Mahāmudrā (to which it bears certain similarities) does for Kagyüpas
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.
