In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: De Gruyter: Himalayan Anthropology: The Indo-Tibetan Interfacetshog shin (ཚོག་ཤི�) refers to a “sacred tree� and represents the symbolic vertical pathway in time and space that leads to the unity between the hierophant (峦ⲹ) and the divinity, according to William Stablein’s A Descriptive Analysis of the Content of Nepalese Buddhist Pujas as a Medical-Cultural System (with References to Tibetan Parallels).—On the tshog shin (sacred tree) dwell the tutelary deities, Buddhas, the sacred community, the projectors, and the sacred books.—Note: The tshog shin is visually represented by religious paintings. Although they are Tibetan, Newars also use them as reverential objects in ū. The tshog shin is also mentally visualized.—The neophyte is asked to project into this visual aid all his friends, relatives, and enemies so that all may benefit from the transfer of the ṛt (Tibetan, bdud rtsi) [curing ambrosia] that is believed to be taking place between the divine hierarchy and the sentient beings, via the hierophant. As enemies are also included it is a kind of therapeutic sacred jurisprudence without actual encounter.

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.
