Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsThe Wrathful (Activity) refers to one of the “Four Activities” (in Tantric traditions) which are known in Tibetan as las bzhi.—Accordingly, [while discussing the history of the Geluk philosophical system]: [...] This system includes all vinaya-vow lineages, explanations, and practices from those earlier traditions. [...] The Geluk possesses, flawlessly and perfectly for anyone whenever they wish, instructions for practicing the four activities [e.g., the wrathful activity] that occur in stainless Tantras, were transmitted from those holy beings who were adepts, and are not polluted by Bön, extremism, or other debased traditions. Thus, there is no situation where it is necessary to rely on another system for lack of the requisites for the four activities.
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.
