===Other important texts=== Also of great importance are the "[[Maitreya-nātha#Attributed works|Five Treatises of Maitreya]]" including the influential ''[[Ratnagotravibhāga (text)|Ratnagotravibhāga]]'', a compendium of the [[Tathāgatagarbha sūtras|''tathāgatagarbha'' literature]], and the ''[[Mahayana-sutra-alamkara-karika|Mahayanasutralankara]]'', a text on the Mahayana path from the [[Yogacara]] perspective, which are often attributed to [[Asanga]]. Practiced focused texts such as the [[Yogacarabhumi|''Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra'']] and [[Kamalaśīla]]'s ''[[Bhāvanākrama]]'' are the major sources for meditation.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}} While the Indian texts are often central, original material by key Tibetan scholars is also widely studied and collected into editions called ''sungbum''.{{sfnp|Samuel|2012|p=20}} The commentaries and interpretations that are used to shed light on these texts differ according to tradition. The Gelug school for example, use the works of [[Tsongkhapa]], while other schools may use the more recent work of [[Rimé movement]] scholars like [[Jamgon Kongtrul]] and [[Jamgon Ju Mipham Gyatso]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}} A corpus of extra-canonical scripture, the [[terma (religion)|treasure texts]] (''terma'') literature is acknowledged by [[Nyingma]] practitioners, but the bulk of the canon that is not commentary was translated from Indian sources. True to its roots in the ''Pāla'' system of North India, however, Tibetan Buddhism carries on a tradition of eclectic accumulation and systematisation of diverse Buddhist elements, and pursues their synthesis. Prominent among these achievements have been the [[lamrim|Stages of the Path]] and [[lojong|mind training]] literature, both stemming from teachings by the Indian scholar [[Atiśa]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}
