In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesArthavat (अरà¥à¤¥à¤µà¤¤à¥�) refers to “one who brings benefits (to the world)â€�, according to the 10th-century ḌÄkÄrṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] [This is] a visualization of the very terrifying one [who] resides on a corpse; [he] brings benefits to the world (jagad-arthavat). [A practitioner] should take recourse in every kind of meditation instantly. [...]â€�.

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 (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
