That is explained. [It is] madder-like red in color (raktamāñjiṣṭha-varṇa), consists of thirty-six spokes, and is powerful. [The Yoginīs are]—[...] [Every] goddess is effective in all rituals. This circle is great in nature. [The color of the goddesses’ bodies is] declared to be [the same as] the color of their circle. Here, the rest is as before. [...]”.

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.
