In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Gūḍhapadā (गूढपदा) is the name of a commentary of the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti authored by Advayavajra, which survives in a single manuscript. The Gūḍhapadā is a voluminous text, occupying 180 densely written palm-leaf folios; according to the colophon, it measures 4,000 granthas. It has not been translated into Tibetan. [...] It was not an unknown work, at least not in the 12th century. Raviśrījñāna, one of the most famous exegetes of the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti, mentions it as one of the main sources he relied upon.
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.
