Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara Samadhiṛt (स्मृतिबल) or “power of mindfulness� is associated with Surābhakṣ� and Vajrahūṃkāra, according to the deities of the Cakrasaṃvara-maṇḍala or Saṃvaramaṇḍala of Abhayākaragupta’s Niṣpannayogāvalī, p. 45 and n. 145; (Cf. Cakrasaṃvaratantra, Gray, David B., 2007).—The Cakrasaṃvara mandala has a total of sixty-two deities. [...] Three concentric circles going outward, the body, speech and mind wheels (ⲹ-첹-ٳٲ), in the order: mind (blue), speech (red), and body (white), with eight Ḍākinīs each in non-dual union with their Ḍākas, "male consorts".
Associated elements of Surābhakṣ� and Vajrahūṃkāra:
Circle: 첹 [=쳦?] (speech-wheel) (red);
Ḍākinī (female consort): Surābhakṣ�;
Ḍāka (male consort): Vajrahūṃkāra;
īᲹ: �;
Body-part: nose tip;
Pīṭha: Kosala;
Bodily constituent: antra (large intestine);
Bodhipakṣa (wings of enlightenment): ṛt (power of mindfulness).
ṛt (स्मृतिबल) refers to the “power of mindfulness� and represents one of the “six powers� (ṣaḍb) through which are accomplished the nine stages of resting the mind.—ṛt is known in Tibetan as Drenpa (dran pa).—Through mindfulness one accomplishes ‘continuously resettling� and ‘fully settling the mind�; whenever one is distracted one gathers the mind and slowly, through habituation, non-distraction occurs.

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.
