In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systemsmdo (མད�) (in Tibetan) (lit. “Sūtra�) � A discourse of the Buddha, contained in the canonical collection of either a Hinayana or Mahayana school. There is significant disagreement between Hinayana and Mahayana schools over which sutras were actually taught by the Buddha, with the former having a narrower, and the latter a more expansive, understanding of “what the Buddha taught.�

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 (Բ) are collected indepently.
