Six non-Buddhist Schools (T. རྩ་བའི་སྡེ་དྲུག་) — a common grouping of non-Buddhist schools, according to Tibetan texts such as the Dungkar Great Tibetan Dictionary.[1]
These schools are:[1]
- Vaisheshika (Skt. Vaiśeṣika; T. bye brag pa)
- Nyaya (Skt. Nyāya; T. rig pa can pa)
- Samkhya (Skt. Sāṃkhya; T. grangs can pa)
- Mimamsaka (Skt. Mīmāṃsaka; T. dpyod pa ba)
- Jain (Skt. Jaina) or Nigrantha ('the naked ones') (Skt.; T. gcer bu pa)
- Charvaka (Skt. Cārvāka; T. rgyang 'phen pa) or Brihaspati (Skt. Bṛhaspati; T. phur bu pa)
The tenet systems (siddhānta) of these schools are studied by Tibetan scholars along with the four Buddhist tenet systems.[2]
