In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
(The doctrine of) Logic is denoted by the Sanskrit term Tarka, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Not by studying the doctrines of scriptural exegesis, logic (tarka), planets and mathematics, nor by the Vedas, Upaniṣads, Dharmaśāstras [and the like]; not even by lexicons nor metre, grammar, poetry nor rhetoric; the sage's attainment of the highest reality is gained only from the oral teachings of his own Guru. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Logic refers to one of the “Ten Sciences” (in Tibetan: rig gnas bcu) which were taught by Śākyaśrī to Sakya Pandita (Sapan).—[...] At the age of twenty-three, Sakya Pandita (1182–1251) met the great Kashmiri pandit Śākyaśrī. With the great pandit and his disciples, Saṅghaśrī, Sugataśrī, and Dānaśīla, he trained completely in the ten sciences [e.g., logic or valid cognition]. At the age of twenty-seven, he took full ordination from the great Kashmiri pandit.
Logic as one of the “Five Major Sciences” (Tibetan: rig gnas chen po lnga) forms part of the “Ten Sciences” (Tibetan: rig gnas bcu), or fields of knowledge. The term “craftsmanship” is known in Sanskrit as Hetu and in Tibetan as gtan tshigs.
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.
