Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsThe Five Sense-objects (in S膩峁僰hya) are known in Tibetan as de tsam lnga. These sense-objects arise from the 鈥渕anifesting I-principle鈥� which together with the 鈥渆ssential-powered I-principle鈥� originate from the 鈥渢he darkness-possessing I-principle鈥�. All three of these principles originate from the intellect which in turn originates from the principal.
The Five Sense-objects are:
- forms,
- sounds,
- smells,
- tastes,
- tangibles.
S膩峁僰hyas assert definitively that all objects of knowledge are enumerated into twenty-five: (1) the principal, (2) the great, (3) the I-principle, (4鈥�8) the five sense objects,94 (9鈥�13) the five elements, (14鈥�24) the eleven sense faculties, and (25) the person, which is self, consciousness, and the knower. Of those, the person [9] is asserted as conscious, while the remaining twenty-four 鈥� as aggregate composites 鈥� are insentient matter.
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鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
