In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Academia: Examining the Blo sbyong Component in Thogs med bzang po's Collected WorksHaribhadra (हरिभद्र) is another name for seng ge bzang—one of the Twenty-five Revered Figures who transmitted the teachings of the Mahāyāna blo sbyong (mind training) according to “Lineage of Mahāyāna Blo sbyong Masters” written in the Dergé edition of the gSung 'bum (lit. “collected works”)—a text written by thogs med bzang po (1295–1369)—a renowned master of Mind-training practices (in Tibetan: blo sbyong).—Many masters in his list were recorded in other blo sbyong texts. Also, his lineage presentation is associated with the textual tradition of 'chad ka ba’s “Seven-Point Mind Training”. [...] Thogs med bzang po’s choice of masters 5 to 9 further connects him to Asaṅga’s and Vasubandhu’s textual traditions. Masters 5 to 8 are related to the commentarial tradition of “Ornament for Clear Realization” (Abhisamayālaṃkāra, mngon rtogs rgyan). [...] Master number 8 is Haribhadra (seng ge bzang po, ca. late eighth century). He is the most well-known Indian commentator on Clear Realization.

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.
