In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Śūnyatājñāna (शून्यताज्ञान) refers to the “knowledge of emptiness”, according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Oṃ the natural state of all conditions is pure, my natural state is pure, My natural spirit is the vajra knowledge of emptiness (śūnyatājnāna—śūnyatājnānavajrasvabhāvātmako'haṃ), observe emptiness”.
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.
