In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Rigpa Shedra: WikiPretādhivāsin (प्रेताधिवासिन्) (=Pretādhivāsinī) refers to one of the Twenty-four Great Sacred Places (Tibetan: gnas chen nyer bzhi) according to the Cakrasaṃvaratantra (Chakrasamvara Tantra).—In the Nyingma tradition, Jigme Lingpa’s Yumka Dechen Gyalmo has incorporated this enumeration. Furthermore, Jigme Lingpa says that “as regards these places, they are entirely present internally, within our own body”.—For example, “the genitals are Pretapurī (Pretādhivāsinī)”.—This correlation can also be found in the Sampuṭodbhavatantra (“Emergence from Samputa Tantra”) [e.g., “Pretādhivāsinī is in the sexual organ, While Gṛhadevatā is in the anus—These two are melāpakas.”]
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.
