In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra笔谤补峁噄诲丑腻苍补 (啶啶班ぃ啶苦ぇ啶距え) refers to 鈥渂uddhist vow鈥� according to the 2nd century Mah膩辫谤补箩帽腻p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter X. During innumerable kalpas of this kind (补蝉补峁僰丑测别测补办补濒辫补), the Bodhisattva has formed the great vow to save all beings. This is what is called the vow of the Great Mind. In order to save all beings, the fetters (蝉补峁儁辞箩补苍补) must be cut through and supreme perfect enlightenment (补苍耻迟迟补谤补-蝉补尘测补办-蝉补峁僢辞诲丑颈) must be realized. This is what is called vow (辫谤补峁噄诲丑腻苍补).

What are those eight? To wit, (1) never giving up the thought of awakening in order to purify thought ; (2) no thought of disciples or isolated buddhas in order to purify logical ability; (3) never giving up training in order to purify one鈥檚 vows; (4) not entering into any kind of birth in order to [purify?] one鈥檚 aspirations (辫谤补峁噄诲丑腻苍补-pari艣uddhi); (5) no laxity in order to purify the condition of non-stress; (6) transforming into awakening so as to purify one鈥檚 aim鈥欌��.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara Samadhi笔谤补峁噄诲丑腻苍补 (啶啶班ぃ啶苦ぇ啶距え) refers to the 鈥淏odhisattva vow鈥�, according to Buddhist teachings followed by the Newah in Nepal, Kathmandu Valley (whose roots can be traced to the Licchavi period, 300-879 CE).鈥擨n the H墨nay膩na the term bodhisattva was only used to refer to a future historical Buddha prior to their attainment of Buddhahood. However, in the Mah膩y膩na, the term is used to designate anyone who aspires to the complete, perfect enlightenment of themselves and all beings. Motivated by boundless compassion (办补谤耻峁嚹�), and tempered by the perfection of wisdom (辫谤补箩帽腻), the Bodhisattva generates bodhichitta, "the enlightened mind", which many Buddhists believe to be compassion itself. The Bodhisattva then takes the Bodhisattva Vow (辫谤补峁噄诲丑腻苍补), receives the promise of future attainment (惫测腻办补谤补峁嘺), and proceeds to follow the Bodhisattva Path, including the ten stages (产丑奴尘颈蝉).

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.
