In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Tattvaratnāvaloka (तत्त्वरत्नावलोक) is the name of a work attributed to Vāgīśvarakīrti: an East Indian tantric Buddhist scholar whose views were considered important enough to be contested sometime before 1057ce.—The Tattvaratnāvaloka, a short treatise in twenty-one verses, and a largely prose auto-commentary thereof, the Tattvaratnāvalokavivaraṇa, are usually mentioned in the same breath and are indeed transmitted together in the only known manuscript. These texts have been edited by (presumably) Banarsi Lal. The Tibetan translations were undertaken by ’Gos Lhas btsas (although only Tōh. 1890 / Ōta. 2754 is actually signed by him), whose activity falls in the middle of the 11th century (Davidson 2005, 139).
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.
