In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
The World of Desire refers to one of the “Three Worlds” (which together constitute the Buddhist samsaric cosmos) which are known in Tibetan as khams gsum.—Accordingly, [while describing the standpoints of the extremists], [regarding the Brahmavādins]: The Vedāntins, or Highest Brahmans, assert an entity called the person. This is the “person” explained in the Vedas, which are the source of valid cognition; [...]. That person is the self-nature of the gods and also the nature of Maheśvara. From that person alone are produced all the Three Worlds [e.g., the world of desire], happiness and suffering, and bondage and freedom. However, the nature of the person itself is unchanging and inexhaustible. [...]
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.
