Accordingly, the guṇacakra refers to one of the four divisions of the sahaja-puṭa (‘innate layer’), situated within the padma (lotus) in the middle of the Herukamaṇḍala. Jvālākulakaraṅka is associated with the tree (vṛkṣa) named Kaṅkelli; with the direction-guardian (dikpāla) named Varuṇa; with the serpent king (nāgendra) named Karkoṭa and with the cloud king (meghendra) named Ghora.

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.
