Sog-gi Khorlo in Tibetan refers to the “Wheel of Life” and represents one of the “Thirteen Later Translations” (Tibetan: phyi 'gyur bcu gsum) which are part of the “Eighteen Great Scriptures”.—Yudra Nyingpo [g.yu sgra snying po] was one of the chief disciples of Vairotsana and one of the principal lotsawa "translators" of the first translation stage of texts into Tibetan. Yudra Nyingpo became one of the greatest masters of Nyingma Dzogchen Semde and Longdé teachings. He translated many works, including the “Thirteen Later Translations”, [for example: Wheel of Life (Sog-gi Khorlo — srog gi 'khor lo)]
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.
