In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography闯墨惫腻迟尘补苍 (啶溹啶掂ぞ啶む啶え啷�) refers to the 鈥渋ndividual soul鈥�.鈥擳he individual soul is variously called the Bodhisattva (Bodhi Essence), Bodhicitta (Will to Enlightenment), 闯墨惫腻迟尘补苍 (individual soul) while the Infinite or the Universal soul is variously known as 艢奴nya Brahma and Param腻迟尘补苍. When they combine in the state of the highest meditation and concentration, an artificial condition akin to deep sleep is brought about, and the deity appears in the mind sky in flashes and sparks. The nature of the 闯墨惫腻迟尘补苍 being finite, it is not possible to realise the Infinite in its entirety, that is to say, the result of the mystic experience of the 闯墨惫腻迟尘补苍 also remains finite.
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.
