1) The Three Provinces of Tibet are known in Tibetan as bod kyi chol kha gsum.—Accordingly, [while describing the history of the Sakya philosophical system], [regarding Phakpa and his successors]: [...] At the age of twenty-one, Phakpa rode out of Mongolia. [...] Then, with the arrival of a gold-lettered invitation from the emperor, he once again went to Mongolia. As offering for granting initiation to the king, he was granted three provinces and pearls measured by the bushel.
These Three Provinces of Tibet are:
- the Dharma province of Ü-Tsang,
- the populous province of upper Amdo, and
- the horse province of lower Amdo, namely Kham.
Then, he returned to Sakya. At Chumik Ringmo in Tsang he sponsored a Dharma cycle gathering for seventy thousand monks and offered them the gold, tea, silk cloth, and other valuables he had obtained. He attained final peace at the age of forty-six.
2) The Three Districts of Ngari are known in Tibetan as mnga' ris skor gsum. They are:
- Gugé,
- Purang, and
- Mangyul
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug.

Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
