Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsIdentity refers to one of the 鈥�Three Types of Inference鈥� which are known in Tibetan as rjes dpag gsum.鈥擜ccordingly, [while discussing the schools of the Vai艣e峁kas and Naiy膩yikas]: [...] The Vai艣e峁kas admit three sources of valid cognition: perception, inference, and scripture; the Naiy膩yikas admit those three and also admit comparison as a source of valid cognition, making four. Also, both schools assert three types of inference [e.g., identity], three aspects of perfect logical reasons that are the basis of those inferences, and three fallacies that subvert a reason. [...]
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.
