Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist IconographyKāyavākcittavajra (कायवाक्चित्तवज्र) is the name of a Samādhi (meditation), according to Guhyasamāja.—Cf. Tathāgatamaṇḍala.—[...] When all the Tathāgatas were associated with their female counterparts the Lord sat in four more meditations and through these created four guardians of gates for the four cardinal directions. [...] Finally, the Lord sat in another Samādhi called the Kāyavākcittavajra of the Tathāgatas, and became vibrant with the sound “Vighnāntakṛt” which soon took the shape of a violent deity representing the body, speech and the mind of the Tathāgatas, and was placed at the northern gate.
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.
