Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesVarayogin (वरयोगिन्) (Cf. Varayoginī) refers to an “excellent Yogin”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: [while explaining the speech circle (vākcakra)]: “[...] This way, [the circles] starting with the Knowledge and ending with the Body are stated to be a wheel encircling the Water, Fire, [Earth,] Wind, and Space [Circles]. [Their] excellent Yoginīs (varayoginī) should be discerned. The Speech Circle, the second, in the Emanation Layer is thus [taught]. [...]”
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.
