In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Tibetan Buddhism)Buddhayat (बुद्धयत्) refers to the “perfect Buddhas�, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya.—In the Amanaska, the term DzԾ is a synonym for the no-mind state. [...] In contrast to the paucity of its occurrences in Yoga texts, DzԾ is well attested in epic, Tantric and Pauranic literature that predates the Amanaska. [...] Examples can be found in Śaiva and Buddhist Tantras, (e.g., Mahāmāyātantra 2.19a-b): “The perfect Buddhas (buddhayat) who have entered into Yoganidrā realize [that secret knowledge.]�.

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.
