In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsDependent (phenomena) refers to one of the “Three Natures� or �Three Characteristics� (in Cittamātra ontology) representing the three types of phenomena which are known in Tibetan mtshan nyid gsum.—The Cittamātrins assert that dharmas established from their own side, without being merely imputed by thought, are specifically characterized, established by their own characteristics, and truly established; while dharmas established as mere imputations by thought are the reverse. They assert both the dependent nature and the thoroughly established nature as truly established, and the imaginary nature as non–truly established. These are the three “natures� or “characteristics� [e.g., dependent phenomena (gzhan dbang, paratantra)] into which, according to Cittamātrins, all existents may be divided.

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.
