When I was practicing Tibetan Buddhist traditions I frequently read about and heard about three levels of the teachings: the outer, the inner and the secret.
During empowerments, when the head of the Nyingma tradition was visiting, in high ceremony, we would be given the outer empowerment, the inner empowerment and the secret empowerment.
Sogyal Rinpoche notices in his audio tape on Tibetan Wisdom for Living and Dying the parallel between the Christian hold trinity of The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost, and the three kayas in Tibetan Buddhism, Nirmanakaya, Dharmakaya and Sambogakaya.
That's all I have to say about that now.
