Note：

“Terma” refers to a tradition in Bon and Tibetan Buddhism where spiritual treasures are hidden by great masters during times of peril, with the intent of rediscovering them in the future to preserve and transmit sacred teachings. These treasures, known as Terma, are categorized into texts, statues, holy relics, and collections.

伏藏是指苯教或藏传佛教的一种传承经典的行为。当宗教面临重大威胁时，大师们会选择将一些宗教经典和法器秘密埋藏起来，以供在后世被发掘使宗教得以继续传承。这些伏藏主要分为书籍、佛像、圣物和藏品。
