Source: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara SamadhiMahāmakuṭa (महामकुट) refers to the “greatest crown (of all Buddhas)”, according to the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi [i.e., Cakrasamvara Meditation] ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Oṃ this here, all this rank of a Buddha, as well as for your worship, a crown sprung from five families. Accept the greatest crown (mahāmakuṭa) of all Buddhas Svāhā!”.
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.
