In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsThe Three Types of Inference are known in Tibetan as rjes dpag gsum.鈥擜ccordingly, [while discussing the schools of the Vai艣e峁kas and Naiy膩yikas]: [...] The Vai艣e峁kas admit three sources of valid cognition: perception, inference, and scripture; the Naiy膩yikas admit those three and also admit comparison as a source of valid cognition, making four. Also, both schools assert three types of inference, three aspects of perfect logical reasons that are the basis of those inferences, and three fallacies that subvert a reason. [...]
The Three Types of Inference are:
- inference based on causation;
- inference based on identity;
- inference based on non-apprehension.
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.
