Ten topics of tantra (Tib. རྒྱུད་ཀྱི་དངོས་པོ་བཅུ་, Wyl. rgyud kyi dngos po bcu)
Longchen Rabjam structured the path of Mantrayana in his commentary of the Guhyagarbha tantra, Dispelling Darkness in the Ten Directions according to the ten topics of tantra:
- view (Skt. dṛṣṭi; Tib. ལྟ་བ་, tawa)
- samadhi (Skt. samādhi; Tib ཏིང་ངེ་འཛིན་, ting ngé dzin)
- action or conduct (Skt. charyā; Tib སྤྱོད་པ་, chöpa)
- mandala (Skt. maṇḍala; Tib དཀྱིལ་འཁོར་, kyilkhor)
- empowerment (Skt abhiṣeka or abhiṣiñca; Tib དབང་, wang)
- samaya (Skt.; Tib དམ་ཚིག་, damtsik)
- sadhana (Skt. sādhana; Tib སྒྲུབ་པ་, drubpa)
- offerings (Skt. pūjā; Tib མཆོད་པ་, chöpa)
- enlightened activity (Skt. karma; Tib ཕྲིན་ལས་, trinlé)
- mudra (Skt. mudrā; Tib ཕྱག་རྒྱ་, chakgya)
In Mipham Rinpoche's exposition, Essence of Clear Light, the tenth topic is divided into two, resulting in eleven topics.
