Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsRenunciation refers to one of the “Three Principal Aspects of the Path” (in the Geluk tradition) which are known in Tibetan as lam gyi gtso bo'i gsum.—Accordingly, [while describing how Jé Tsongkhapa wrote great texts on Sutra-vehicle traditions]: [...] The stages of the path literature is distinctive because of five special qualities [e.g., (1) distinctive subject matter, that is, the three principal aspects of the path [e.g., renunciation], the teaching given to Jé himself by Jetsün Mañjughoṣa, which is adorned by the noble lord Atiśa’s special instructions regarding the three types of person] [...]. Although there are many Kadam stages of the path texts, Jé’s stages of the path texts are distinctive compared even to those. [...]

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.
