Although in some systems the Tantras are considered to fall into only four categories, the Kriyā, Caryā, Yoga, and Anuttarayoga, the rNying-mas accept three outer and three inner Tantras. The three outer Tantras are the Kriyā, Caryā, and the Yoga Tantras. The Kriyā Tantras emphasize purification of body and speech through ritual and cleansing activities, establishing a relationship between the deity and the practitioner similar to the relationship of master and servant. Realization can be gained within sixteen human lifetimes. The Caryā Tantras place emphasis on purification of body and speech through ritual and meditation, establishing a relationship between the deity and the practitioner similar to that between brothers or friends. Realization can be gained within seven human lifetimes. The Yoga Tantras have two divisions: outer Yoga Tantra (Upayoga) which emphasizes meditation on nonduality and the practice of the four seals (Mahāmudrā, Dharmamudrā, Samāyamudrā, and Karmamudrā);and inner Yoga Tantra (Anuttarayoga). The Anuttarayoga Tantras are themselves divided into three sections: Father, Mother, and Non-dual. The Father Tantras are concerned with the Developing Stage, and the Mother Tantras are concerned with the Perfecting Stage. Father Tantra may be related to Mahāyoga, Mother Tantra to Anuyoga, and Nondual Tantra to Atiyoga. Realization can be gained within three human lives. The inner Tantras include the Mahāyoga, Anuyoga, and Ātiyoga Tantras. The Mahāyoga Tantras are based on the sGyu section of the bKa'-ma;important texts are the root text (Guhyamūlagarbhatantra) and eighteen Mahāyoga tantras. Em- phasis is on visionary meditative experience. The Anuyoga Tantras are based on the mDo section of the bKa'-ma. The root text is the Gongs-pa 'dus-pa;important texts include the five Anuyogasūtras. Emphasis is on the unity of appearances and openness. The Ātiyoga Tantras are based on the Sems section of the bKa'-ma;these are the Absolute Perfection teachings. They are divided into three parts: the Sems-sde, or Mind section;the Klongs-sde, or Unending Experience of Being section;and the Man-ngag-gi-sde, or Guidance section which contains the sNying-thig, the 'Quintessential Instructions'.

Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Rain of Wisdom/Glossary + (rgyud;continuity;continuity;tantra;Tantra … rgyud;continuity;continuity;tantra;Tantra may refer to many different kinds of texts. For instance, there are medical tantras, astrological tantras, and so on. More specifically, tantra refers to the root texts of the vajrayāna and to the systems of meditation they describe. Tantras, similar to sūtras, are attributed to Śākyamuni, who sometimes manifests as Vajradhara, Vajrasattva, and so on. The "four orders of tantra" refer to the four yānas: kriyā, upa (caryā), yoga, and anuttara.<br> Tantra means continuity, and refers to continuity throughout the ground, path, and fruition of the journey. Continuity of ground means that the basic nature, whether it is called suchness, ground mahāmudrā, or tathāgatagarbha, remains like the sky, encompassing everything from sentient beings to buddhas-luminous and untainted by habitual patterns. Although never departing from its own nature, it gives birth to infinite possibilities. Thus, it is the basis for the arising of the skandhas and in general, impure saṃsāra. It is also the cause for the trikāya of buddhahood. For the practitioner, it means that body, speech, and mind, in all their confused and wakeful manifestations, are included in the path.<br> Path tantra means applying profound techniques to overcome basic ego. Because the skillful means are based on the ground perspective, they are profound and progress in stages from dealing with the crude experience of beginners up to the complete realization of Vajradhara.<br> Fruition tantra means finally realizing who and what you are. You realize your being as one with the body, speech, and mind of the tathāgatas. That is, you realize the ground that was there continuously from the beginning.e the ground that was there continuously from the beginning.)

Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Treasury of Esoteric Instructions/Glossary + (rgyud;continuum;continuum;The Tibetan word … rgyud;continuum;continuum;The Tibetan word ''rgyud'' was used to translate the two Sanskrit words ''tantra'' and ''saṃtāna'', which are not synonyms in Sanskrit. The word ''tantra'' is primarily used for certain scriptures, systems of practice, and so forth. The word ''saṃtāna'' is used to mean "continuum," in the sense of the stream of being, mindstream, or continuum that constitutes a living being. In Tibetan, the word ''rgyud'' was used for both meanings. In this book ''continuum'' means the continuity, or continuum, of a living being. Furthermore, the terms ''root continuum (rtsa rgyud)'' and ''explanatory continuum (bshad rgyud)'' have an additional resonance in Tibetan because of the dual meaning of the Tibetan word ''rgyud''. In the context of its meaning as "tantra" or "tantric scripture," a root tantra such as the ''Hevajra Tantra'' is clarified by other scriptures referred to as ''explanatory tantras'', such as the ''Vajrapañjara'' and the ''Sampuṭa''. the ''Vajrapañjara'' and the ''Sampuṭa''.)
