In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
1) grub pa (གྲུབ་པ) (Tibetan; in Sanskrit: siddha) — (lit. “Adept”) — A bodhisattva who has, through tantric practice, gained both worldly and transmundane yogic achievements . The great adepts of medieval India, whose lifestories are both colorful and inspirational, were instrumental in transmitting the tantras and are at the source of many Tibetan practice lineages
2) grub pa (གྲུབ་པ) (in Tibetan) (lit. “True existence”) (also: bden par yod pa) — (establishment) A quality of dharmas that, if they possessed it, would define them as “true” in the sense of being permanent, partless, and independent. True existence (generally synonymous with inherent existence ) is an important object of refutation in Madhyamaka philosophy, and realization of dharmas'emptiness of true existence is the necessary condition for the elimination of delusions and the attainment of liberation
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.
