In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Geshé Chengawa (dge bshes spyan snga) refers to the “Three Brothers” (in Kadam tradition).—Accordingly, [while describing the history of the Kadam order]: It began with the noble lord, the glorious Atiśa. Dromtönpa Rinpoché blazed the trail for it. The Three Brothers [e.g., Geshé Chengawa] made it widespread. From there, Langri Thangpa and Sharawa, as well as Jayülwa and others, extended it.
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.
