In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan BuddhismDinakara (啶︵た啶ㄠ啶�) is the name of a Pratyekabuddha mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Ma帽ju艣r墨m奴lakalpa: one of the largest Kriy膩 Tantras devoted to Ma帽ju艣r墨 (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Ma帽ju艣r墨 and were taught to and by Buddha 艢膩kyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Dinakara).
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.
India history and geography
: What is India: Inscriptions of the 艢il膩h膩rasDinakara (啶︵た啶ㄠ啶�) is the name of a member of the 尘补丑腻辫补谤峁诲 (assembly) mentioned in the 鈥淐i帽ca峁嚹� plate of the reign of Cittar膩ja鈥�. Accordingly, 鈥淣ow, while the Mah膩ma峁囜笉ale艣vara, the illustrious C膩mu峁囜笉ar膩ja, who, by his religious merit, has obtained the right to the five 尘补丑腻艣补产诲补蝉... is governing Sa峁儁膩na, he addresses all persons, whether connected with himself or others (such as Dinakara)...鈥�.
This plate (mentioning Dinakara) was found together with eight others at Chinca峁嚹� in the 岣宎h膩峁噓 t膩luka of the 峁琱膩峁嚹� District, North Ko峁卥a峁�, in 1955. The object of the inscription is to record the grant, by C膩mu峁囜笉ar膩ja, of a gh膩峁嘺ka (oil-mill) in favour of the temple Kautuka-ma峁環ik膩 of the goddess Bhagavat墨 at Sa峁儁膩na. The gift was made by pouring out water on the hand of the Sv膩dhy膩yika (scholar) V墨ha岣峚, on the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight (i.e. am膩v膩sy膩) of Bh膩drapada in the 艣aka year 956.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
