In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Raviśrījñāna (रविश्रीज्ञान) (or simply Raviśrīj) is the author of the Amṛtakaṇikā (a commentary on the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti).—Vibhūticandra’s sub-commentary (the Amṛtakaṇikoddyota) gives us the upper limit for Raviśrījñāna. The former first came to Tibet in 1204ce (Stearns 1996). We also know that the Amṛtakaṇikā is one of Raviśrījñāna’s earlier works, because he refers to it in his Guṇabharaṇī (Sferra 2000, 100). He cannot be much earlier than the late 12th century, since one of his masters, Dharmākaraśānti, lived during the reign of Gopāla (pace Sferra 2000, 47–48), in whose court he was a royal preceptor. This Gopāla must be Gopāla IV (r. ca. 1128–1143ce), because the other Gopālas are too early for Raviśrījñāna to mention all three bodhisattva commentators of the Kālacakra system (see here, note 2).
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.
