In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: An Illustrated History of the Mandala狈补惫补办辞峁ａ弓丑补 (啶ㄠさ啶曕啶粪啶�) refers to a 鈥渘ine-panel grid鈥�, as described in chapter 4 (鈥�办丑补峁璱办腻-蝉奴迟谤补辫腻迟补苍补-惫颈诲丑颈鈥�) of the Vi峁兣沘tividhi (i.e., the 艢谤墨驳耻丑测补蝉补尘腻箩补尘补峁囜笉补濒辞辫腻测颈办腻惫颈峁兣沘迟颈惫颈诲丑颈).鈥擳丑别 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of the eight great Bodhisattvas is described as 鈥渆ight circles arranged inside a square鈥� (a峁ａ弓a尘补峁囜笉补濒补ka), whereas the center of the Guhyasam膩ja-尘补峁囜笉补濒补 is a circle divided into nine parts in the form of two pairs of intersecting lines. [...] This pattern has been referred to as a 鈥渘ine-sector structure formed by two pairs of intersecting lines鈥�. In ritual manuals in Sanskrit, however, this pattern is called nava办辞峁ａ弓丑补 (nine-panel grid). The nine-grid panel was carried over via the Vajradh膩tu-尘补峁囜笉补濒补 to the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s of late Tantric Buddhism, starting with the Guhyasam膩jatantra, and became one of the basic patterns of the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补.
The nine-panel grid (狈补惫补办辞峁ａ弓丑补), consists of a circle or a square that is divided into a grid of nine sections in which the deities are arranged. It corresponds to the 鈥渇rame structure鈥� proposed by Ishida and Yoritomi when classifying the patterns of Japanese 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s, and Yoritomi used the term 鈥渘ine-sector structure formed by two pairs of intersecting lines鈥� to refer to the nine-panel grid. Rongtha鈥檚 Iconometry, on the other hand, refers to it as 鈥渘ine grids鈥� (re鈥檜 mig dgu). The original Sanskrit term was found to be nava办辞峁ａ弓丑补, used in chapter 4 of the Vi峁兣沘tividhi. This nine-panel grid is the basic pattern of the Japanese Vajradh膩tu-尘补峁囜笉补濒补 In Tibet, too, this pattern is common in 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s belonging to the Vajra艣ekhara cycle, starting with the Vajradh膩tu-尘补峁囜笉补濒补 and the Guhyasam膩ja-尘补峁囜笉补濒补.
Note: It is particularly interesting that the three basic patterns in Tibetan 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s, namely, lotus, wheel, and nine-panel grid, characterize the Japanese Garbha-, Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩nayas奴tra, and Vajradh膩tu-尘补峁囜笉补濒补s, respectively.

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.
