Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhist Teachers, Deities and other Spiritual beingschos rgyal lha'i dbang ldan (ཆོས་རྒྱལ་ལྷའི་དབང་ལྡ�) in Tibetan is another name for ܰśԲ—one of the �Seven Dharma kings� (Tibetan: chos rgyal bdun) as well as the �Thirty-two kings of Shambhala�, according to the Tibetan oral recounting and written texts such as the Kalachakra Tantra (ٲԳٰ), dealing with the Buddhist conception of the end of the world and time.—The Tibetan mythic land (the kingdom of Shambhala) is a parallel world invisible and inaccessible to common people which is closely related to the teaching about the Wheel of Time (dus 'khor). The seven Dharmarajas [e.g., chos rgyal lha'i dbang ldan] and twenty-five Kulikas are the traditional rulers of Shambhala, passing on the reign from father to son.

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.
