In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: academia.edu: The Cakrasamvara TantraDharmodaya (啶оぐ啷嵿ぎ啷嬥う啶�) as identified by N膩rop膩da possibly refers to Buddhist recasting of 艢aiva 艣颈惫补濒颈峁単补蝉 and yonis鈥擭膩rop膩da describes many of the twenty-four sites as sites whose center is formed by sacral stones such as stone 濒颈峁単补蝉 of various shapes and stone dharmodayas. The stone 濒颈峁単补蝉 conform in shape to the body parts which the Cakrasa峁僾ara scriptures equate with external holy sites. These stone 濒颈峁単补蝉 and dharmodayas are very likely to be a Buddhist recasting of 艢aiva 艣颈惫补濒颈峁単补蝉 and yonis. But many other authors, including Abhay膩karagupta, regard goddesses or living human 岣屇乲in墨s as sacral centers of the holy sites.
: MDPI Books: The Ocean of Heroes顿丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻 (啶оぐ啷嵿ぎ啷嬥う啶ぞ) refers to the 鈥渙rigin of phenomenal existences鈥�, according to the 10th-century 岣屇乲膩r峁嘺va-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Sa峁僾ara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.鈥擜ccordingly: [while explaining the body circle (办腻测补肠补办谤补)]: 鈥淸...] He should push [the obstacle demons by means of the stakes] into the directions starting with the east inside the adamantine cage. The adamantine ground should be underneath. A net of arrows is [placed] above. Moreover, there are an adamantine fence, [an adamantine] canopy, and the 诲丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻 (鈥渙rigin of phenomenal existences鈥�) inside. It is triangle, [the second one is] square, and [the third one is] pentagonal [in shape]. He should also visualize a hexagonal one, [the fourth one]. He should arrange them all in sequence corresponding to the order of the four layers. [...]鈥�.
: academia.edu: Elements of Newar Buddhist Art (EB)顿丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻 (啶оぐ啷嵿ぎ啷嬥う啶ぞ) refers to an 鈥渋nverted triangle symbolizing the female principle鈥� according to several esoteric Buddhist texts including the Vimalaprabh膩 (commentary to K膩lacakra).鈥擜bhay膩karagupta, the well-known author of the Ni峁annayog膩val墨 explains that 鈥渋n terms of macrocosm (bahya) the triangular dharmodaya is no other than the endless sky, in terms of inward (补诲丑测腻迟尘补苍) significance she is Praj帽膩鈥�. Moreover, S膩dhanam膩l膩 no. 97 clearly states that 鈥淒harmodaya is akin to sky, and appears like the vowel e [Br膩hm墨 script] because it has a wide upper section and narrow pointed lower section鈥�. Since this vulvate triangle resembles the vowel e in Br膩hm墨 script it was also known as 别办腻谤补鈥斺�渢he letter e鈥�. The interlocking double triangles motif was actually known to the Buddhist as evam or 别惫补峁僰腻谤补, signifying non-dual unity of the female principle e and the male principle vam, a syllabic letter in ancient Indian scripts which was visualized as an upright triangle.
The word 诲丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻 is synonymous with 诲丑补谤尘补诲丑腻迟耻. For instance, Hevajratantra-Tika explains that 鈥�诲丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻 is 诲丑补谤尘补诲丑腻迟耻 because the worldly phenomenon or the noble dharma [directly] rises from here鈥�. The author of the Samvarodaya-Tantra (verse 2.25) clearly states that 诲丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻 is both a yoni and a gate (诲丑补谤尘辞诲补测腻-yoni-dv膩r膩n膩m). This concept goes bac1 to the early Vedic period.
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.

India history and geography
: academia.edu: Elements of Newar Buddhist ArtThe Dharmodaya (鈥渋nverted triangle鈥�) is identified by the Newar Buddhists (of Kathmandu) with an aboriginal female divinity of a waterhole or waterholes. We know this from several sources including the observation of her unique shrine and its symbolic representations in stone relief. One of this divinity鈥檚 shrines is located in Hmasinga, currently known to Nepali speaking people as Phulbari near Balaju (i.e., Pulan Guhyesvari at Phulbari), the other one in Mrigasthali, east of famous Pasupati temple. Both these shrines are actually underground, fresh-water springs covered by a repouss茅 lotus.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
