In Tibetan Buddhism, it emphasizes teamwork in different forms. The Purana describes it as individual actions overshadowing collective contributions, while Yoga focuses on mental coordination influenced by three qualities. Vyakarana highlights collaboration between master and servant, and Dharmashastra depicts combined efforts in rituals and creation.
