The Sarma tradition of new translation schools, recognizes four classes of tantra (Wyl. rgyud sde bzhi):


Three outer classes—


Kriya Tantra,

Charya Tantra and

Yoga Tantra;

And one inner class of tantra, which is called

Highest Yoga Tantra.


The latter is divided into three:

Father Tantras, such as the Guhyasamaja Tantra, the King of Tantras;

Mother Tantras, such as the Chakrasamvara Tantra; and

Non-dual Tantras, such as Kalachakra.[1]
