Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesJñānasamādhisattva (ज्ञानसमाधिसत्त्व) refers to the “gnosis-meditation-beings”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: “[...] Every circle has its own sealing. The Yoginīs’ [sealing] is the Lord, no other sealing; [he is] powerful. And he should visualize the gnosis-meditation-beings (jñānasamādhisattva) in all circles. Here, a multitude of rays appears; [by means of the rays] he should draw the gnosis circle. [Its details are] to be known from [your] teacher’s instruction. [It is to be performed] with the letters jaḥ hūṃ vaṃ hoḥ. Then, various heroes and Yoginīs perform offering to the leader. [...]”.

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.
