-*The Buddhist teachings of the sacred doctrine (Skt. [[saddharma]]) comprise both experiential realisations ([[adhigama; Tib. rtogs pa]]) and authoritative transmissions ([[āgama; Tib. lung]]) or blueprints for realisation. The latter include both the oral teachings and sacred scriptures (Skt. [[pravacana; Tib. gsung rab]]) delivered by the buddhas, as well as the associated commentaries or treatises (Skt. [[śāstra; Tib. bstan bcos]]), which have been transmitted in an uninterrupted lineage or succession from ancient times. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is regarded as essential that a transmission of both the text and its oral commentary is formally received from an authoritative lineage-holder, if any significant spiritual experience is to be cultivated, since a mere theoretical understanding of these topics is not regarded as sufficient. For a detailed discussion of Buddhist scriptural transmission and treatises, see bDud-'joms Rin-po-che, NSTB, pp. 71-109. [[GD]] (from the Glossary to [[Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings]])
