In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Wisdom Experience: The Nyingma School of Tibetan BuddhismThe Three Vaults (or Appendices) are known in Tibetan as 'phyong-gsum and are associated with the Three Spaces (klong gsum-po) of the Mental Class (Semde or sems-sde) which represents one of the three Divisions of Atiyoga (Dzogchen).鈥擲emde (sems-sde) teaches that all things are liberated from the extreme of renunciation, because they are not separated from mind-as-such. [...] The Tantras which express this Mental Class are said to number two million two hundred thousand verses. If these are subsumed, they comprise the Three Spaces (klong gsum-po) which are contained in six thousand three hundred sections (bam-po). [...]
If further subsumed, these are gathered into the Three Vaults [or Appendices] ('phyong-gsum):
- the Vault which Directly Reaches the Abiding Ground (gnas-pa gzhi-thog-phebs-pa'i 'phyong),
- the Vault into the Liberation of Appearances Right Where They Are (snang-ba rang-sar grol-ba'i 'phyong) and
- the Vault into the Equalisation without Differentiation (ngo-mnyam tha-dad med-pa'i 'phyong)
