In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: WikiPedia: Tibetan Buddhismlhun grub (ལྷུན་གྲུབ) in Tibetan refers to “spontaneous presence” (or: “self-perfected state”) and represents one of the Four Yogas—an important feature of the practice of contemplation in Semde [sems sde] textual tradition (one of the scriptural divisions of Dzogchen).—Semde texts claim that striving for liberation through structured practices (like tantric visualization and ritual) creates more delusion. Instead, Semde works recommend simple contemplations to recognize the pure and empty awakened mind. [...] The main contemplation in Semde works was a formless "technique free immersion in the bare immediacy of one's own deepest levels of awareness". One feature of the practice of contemplation in semde as taught today is "four yogas" [e.g., Spontaneous presence or Self-perfected state (lhun grub; Sanskrit: anābhoga or nirābhoga)]
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.
