Source: academia.edu: A Critical Study of the Vajraḍākamahātantrarāja (II)Śūnyasparśana (शून्यस्पर्शन) is the name of a Vākchomā (‘verbal secrect sign’) which has its meaning defined as ‘mithuna’ according to chapter 8 of the 9th-century Vajraḍākamahātantrarāja, a scripture belonging to the Buddhist Cakrasaṃvara (or Saṃvara) scriptural cycle. These Vākchomās (viz., śūnyasparśana) are meant for verbal communication and can be regarded as popular signs, since they can be found in the three biggest works of the Cakrasaṃvara literature.
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.
