In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Rigpa Shedra: Wikibir ya pa (嘟栢讲嘟⑧紜嘟∴紜嘟�) in Tibetan refers to the Sanskrit V墨ryap膩da鈥攑ossibly another name of 贬奴峁僰腻谤补鈥攐ne of the most learned Indian Buddhist masters. According to the Pema Kathang, Humkara鈥檚 home-country is the mythical country of Ngatubchen (rnga thub chen). There, 贬奴峁僰腻谤补 was initiated into the Kagye鈥攖he Nyingma鈥檚 eight main yidam which includes 艢r墨 Heruka鈥攆rom Padmasambhava and his consort K膩lasiddhi. T膩r膩n膩tha suggests that 贬奴峁僰腻谤补 may have been an epithet of the Siddha Vaidyap膩da aka V墨ryap膩da (bhi rgya pa; or: bir ya pa; or: bha wa pa). Accordingly, Vaidyap膩da received the epithet 贬奴峁僰腻谤补 after he had practised and accomplished the wrathful deity named 贬奴峁僰腻谤补. The short biography of Vaidyap膩da that T膩r膩n膩tha relates, matches the biography that Dudjom Rinpoche gives of 贬奴峁僰腻谤补.
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.
