The Basis of Vajrayana Buddhism

The annuttara yoga tantra tradition that exists in Tibet, and has existed in that country for more than a thousand years, is transmitted through the medium of Tibetan Buddhism. This is not simply the mere name of this tradition. It’s not simply a matter of history such that we can say, “Well, there used to be these wonderful practices that were done in Tibet, and we know about it because the books still exist, but no one actually does this anymore, there is no longer any experiential attainment.” It’s not like that at all. The tradition exists undiminished, it has never been watered down, and its effectiveness and blessings have never been compromised. Down to the present day there still exists the experiential knowledge of all the stages of this path. The qualities of freedom and wisdom that this path produces still exist within the minds of great beings.
