'''Tripitaka''' ([[sde snod gsum]]). The [[three collections]] of the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni: [[Vinaya]], [[Sutra]] and [[Abhidharma]]. Their purpose is the development of the [[three trainings]] of discipline, concentration and discriminating knowledge while their function is to remedy the [[three poisons]] of desire, anger and delusion.  
'''Nectar Quality''' ([[bdud rtsi yon tan]]). One of the [[Eight Sadhana Teachings]]. The [[heruka of the ratna family]] or the tantric teachings connected with that deity.
 
The Tibetan version of the Tripitaka fills more than one hundred large volumes, each with more than 600 large pages. In a wider sense all of the Dharma, both [[Sutra and Tantra]], is contained within the [[three collections]] and [[three trainings]].
 
To paraphrase [[Khenpo Ngakchung]] in his ''[[Notes to the Preliminary Practices for Longchen Nyingtig]]'': "The three collections of Hinayana scriptures, namely [[Vinaya, Sutra and Abhidharma]], respectively express the meaning of the [[training in discipline, concentration and discriminating knowledge]]. The teachings describing the details of precepts for the bodhisattva path belong to the [[Vinaya collection]] while the meaning expressed by these scriptures are the [[training in discipline]]. The sutras expressing the gateways to samadhi are the [[Sutra collection]] while their expressed meaning, reflections on precious human body and so forth, are the [[training in concentration]]. The scriptures on the [[sixteen or twenty types of emptiness]] are the [[Abhidharma collection]] while their expressed meaning is the [[training in discriminating knowledge]]. <br>
Scriptures expounding the details of the [[samayas of Vajrayana]] are the [[Vinaya collection]] while their expressed meaning is the [[training in discipline]]. The scriptures teaching the general points of [[development and completion]] belong to the [[Sutra collection]], while their expressed meaning is the [[training in samadhi]]. All the scriptures expressing the [[Great Perfection]] belong to the [[Abhidharma collection]], while their expressed meaning is the [[training in discriminating knowledge]]."
