In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: An Esoteric Exposition of the Bardo Thodol Part AManur膩k峁s墨 (啶え啷佮ぐ啶距啷嵿し啶�):鈥擮ne of the six 莫艣var墨 performing the rites of pacification.鈥擨n the northern direction the brownish white yak-headed Manur膩k峁s墨, who holds a vajra, governs the 辫谤腻峁嘺蝉 coming to and from Splenic centre I. Splenic centre I directs its Watery-Fiery reject 辫谤腻峁嘺蝉 needing recycling to the Solar Plexus centre, whilst the Solar Plexus centres sends to it for further refining the most Airy aspect of its general Watery-Earthy 辫谤腻峁嘺蝉.
The yak is a peaceful grazing animal that forages on the greenery it resides in. In a similar fashion this Splenic centre processes the general samsk膩ras foraged in the symbolic green fields of sa峁僺膩ra represented by the verdure of the Solar Plexus centre and the entire Inner Round chakras it synthesises.
The purpose of the power of a vajra is to use the most potent forces possible to effect the necessary transformations of 蝉补峁僺办腻谤补蝉, which allows the 辫谤腻峁嘺蝉 to be accommodated by Splenic centre I and sent to the centres above the diaphragm.
The counterpart of this pair is Brahm膩峁嚹�.
The term 鈥楳anu鈥� comes from the root 鈥榤an鈥�, 鈥榯o think', thus the name Manur膩k峁s墨 refers to a flesh eating demoness, who devours evil spirits (the denizens of the lower strata of the astral and mental realms) with the power of thought.
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.
