Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsStanding refers to one of the “Four Aspects” (of the Path of Conduct) which are known in Tibetan as spyod lam rnam bzhi.—Accordingly, [while describing the actions and conduct of subsequent holy Kadam beings]: According to the Lamp Illuminating Dharma History: “The Kadampas’ personal excellence: The short lineage from Geshé Dromtönpa was a lineage of men who were good and stable. [...] They made the Tripiṭaka a support for the special instructions, and they considered the special instructions to be related to the Four Aspects of the Path of Conduct [e.g., standing]. They did not discuss the flaws in Dharmas or persons, nor did they listen to evil friends. [...]”.
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.
General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: A Buddhist Library: In This Very LifeStanding refers to one of the Traditional Four Postures (used in any type of meditation).—Suitable and appropriate activities can bring about insight knowledge. Seven types of suitability should be met in order to create an environment that is supportive of meditation practice. [...] The seventh and last kind of suitability is that of posture. [...] Beginning yogis should avoid the lying and the standing postures. The standing posture can bring about pain in a short while: tightness and pressure in the legs, which can disrupt the practice.
