Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systemszhi byed (嘟炧讲嗉嬥綎嗑编胶嘟�) (=Shij茅) is the name of an ancient Tibetan philosophical system.鈥擜ccording to earlier scholars, the word Shij茅 [zhibyed] was applied on the basis of the name of the Dharma teaching called 鈥渢he holy Dharma that pacifies (蝉丑颈箩茅) suffering鈥�. This Dharma is called 鈥渢he holy Dharma that pacifies suffering鈥� because it instantly pacifies the sufferings of this life 鈥� namely, having an inferior body, being sickly, being poor, and being oppressed by non-humans 鈥� which arose through the karma of previous lives, and enables you to endure the practice of yoga. [...]
The source from which the Shij茅 instruction arose was Pha Dampa Sangy茅 (d. 1117). He was born in K奴padv墨pa, in the region of Carasi峁僪a, in southern India. From among the countless disciples he developed in Tibet, the most famous are those of the three lineages 鈥� the early, middle, and later Shij茅.
(1) It is said that the early lineage was taught to the Kashmiri J帽膩naguhya and translated into Tibetan by Ongpo Lots膩wa.
(2) The middle lineage is said to have been propagated after Pha Dampa gave instructions to the trio of Ma Ch枚kyi Sherap, Sochung Gend眉n Bar, and Kham Yesh茅 Gyaltsen.
(3) The later lineage: Dampa went to holy Dingri Langkor; of his four supreme disciples there 鈥� the holy Charchen, Charchung, Vajrakrodha, and the holy K眉nga 鈥� the main one was the holy K眉nga, whom Dampa Sangy茅 had looked after over the course of five lives.
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.
