In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Rigpa Shedra: WikiMune Tsepo refers to one of the sons of Trisong Detsen (c. 742-c.800)—one of the “Three Ancestral Religious Kings” (Tibetan: mes dbon rnam gsum) who were the most famous of Tibet’s ancient kings having made the greatest contribution to establishing the teachings of the Buddha in Tibet. There is some confusion in the various histories regarding the number and the names of Tri Songdetsen's sons. According to Dudjom Rinpoche’s “History of the Dharma” (bdud 'joms chos 'jung), King Tri Songdetsen had three sons: [e.g., the eldest was named Mune Tsenpo (mu ne btsan po) or Mune Tsepo (mu ne btsad po)]. The situation is made more complex because later Tibetan sources use several of these names interchangeably.—(also see: Brandon Dotson, “Emperor” Mu rug btsan and the ’Phang thang ma Catalogue, JIATS vol. 3, 2007).
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.
