Amaraguru,followers of.;Bārhaspatyas (Phur bu pa) were followers of Amaraguru (Lha'i bla ma), who was also known as Bṛihaspati (Phur bu).

Since there are no known surviving works from this ancient philosophical tradition, possibly dating from 600 bce, our knowledge is based on what we find in the descriptions and refutations of them by others.
