In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsRecollection refers to one of the “Six Yogas” according to the Kālacakra Tantric corpus.—Accordingly, [while describing the standpoint of the Nyingma philosophical system]: Their explanation of the way to travel the path, as found in the “Basic Heruka Tantra” and other texts, is similar to new mantra schools’ teachings on the Six Yogas [e.g., the completion-stage yoga of recollection], the five stages, and Lamdré. [...] However, later Nyingmapas do not seem to make those the primary focus of their teaching and study.
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.
