: De Gruyter: A Fragment of the ղ峾ṛtٲԳٰŚś (शशिलेख्य�) refers to one of the eight wisdoms () described in the �ܳⲹṇḍ-첹ṇābԲⲹ� chapter of the 9th-century ղ峾ṛtٲԳٰ or ղ峾ṛtٲԳٰ: one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yoginītantras. The first chapter begins, in the fashion of the ‘explanatory tantras� (ٲԳٰ), by stating that the actual teachings have already been imparted; the Goddess (Devī) Māmakī then asks for insights on the means to achieve (Բ) the supreme Nectar of the Vajra (峾ṛt) [...] Afterwards, the text describes the door-guardians (屹) and the eight Wisdoms () [viz., Śś, etc.] which are located in the eight leaves of the lotus.

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.
