History of Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism: Power and Transgression
We'll go over the history of tantric Buddhism, its origins as well as its differences from other forms of Buddhist belief and practice. Then we'll give an overall characterization of what constitutes this somewhat transgressive form of Buddhism. It’s a huge topic so this video should only be seen as an intro!

The Secret Teachings Of Vajrayāna Buddhism
Vajrāyāna Buddhism, also known as Tantric Buddhism or Esoteric Buddhism, first developed in India and later spread to China, Tibet, and Nepal.
Vajrāyāna Buddhism was first introduced to Tibet in the 8th century AD.
This makes it the last school of Buddhism to spread beyond India.
The main figure responsible for the introduction and establishment of Buddhism in Tibet was the Indian master Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche.
Padmasambhava arrived in Tibet in the 8th century at the invitation of the Tibetan king Trisong Detsen.
Padmasambhava spread the teachings of Vajrāyāna Buddhism throughout Tibet and it has been the dominant form of Buddhism in the region ever since.
Vajrāyāna Buddhism has its roots in Mahāyāna Buddhism.
Vajrāyāna, however, introduces the use of visualisation,...

Padmasambhava: The Yogi From The Astral Realm
“In Tibetan, Guru Padmasambhava is generally referred to as Guru Rinpoche, which means “precious master.” Guru Rinpoche is a totally enlightened being, a fully awakened one, a buddha. He did not become enlightened gradually, or start practicing the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni and eventually achieve enlightenment. Guru Rinpoche incarnated as a fully enlightened being. Through his form, primordial wisdom manifests in the world to benefit all sentient beings,” explains the Padmasambhava Buddhist Center.
His appearance was actually predicted by Buddha Shakyamuni through nineteen different sutras and tantras that contain clear information about his arrival and activities. Buddha Shakyamuni even said that Padmasambhava would be more enlightened than himself:

Mahayana vs Vajrayana Buddhism | The Path to Enlightenment #Ailight #AI
AI Light
Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism are two branches of Buddhism that share the goal of attaining Buddhahood for the benefit of all beings but differ in their methods and philosophies. Mahayana, meaning "Great Vehicle," emphasizes the Bodhisattva path, where practitioners strive for enlightenment over many lifetimes to help others achieve liberation. Key teachings include compassion (karuna) and wisdom (prajna) through understanding emptiness (shunyata). Vajrayana, or "Diamond Vehicle," is considered an esoteric extension of Mahayana, offering a faster path to enlightenment, often within a single lifetime, through Tantric practices. Vajrayana integrates mantras, deity visualizations, and rituals, transforming negative emotions into enlightened awareness. It places strong emphasis on t...

Vajrāyāna Buddhism, also known as Tantric Buddhism or Esoteric Buddhism, first developed in India and later spread to China, Tibet, and Nepal.
Vajrāyāna Buddhism was first introduced to Tibet in the 8th century AD.
This makes it the last school of Buddhism to spread beyond India.
The main figure responsible for the introduction and establishment of Buddhism in Tibet was the Indian master Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche.
Padmasambhava arrived in Tibet in the 8th century at the invitation of the Tibetan king Trisong Detsen.
Padmasambhava spread the teachings of Vajrāyāna Buddhism throughout Tibet and it has been the dominant form of Buddhism in the region ever since.
Vajrāyāna Buddhism has its roots in Mahāyāna Buddhism.
Vajrāyāna, however, introduces the use of visualisation, mantra, and ritual practices to achieve enlightenment in a single lifetime.
Vajrāyāna Buddhism uses visualisation, or the creation of mental images of deities, mandalas, and other spiritual symbols, to access the wisdom and power of the deity.
This is known as deity yoga, and it is one of the main practices of Vajrāyāna Buddhism.
One main reason that this became a primary practice of Vajrāyāna Buddhism is because of the Bön religion which existed in Tibet long before Buddhism arrived.
The Importance of Bön to Vajrāyāna Buddhism
Bön is a religion that has been practised in Tibet for over a millennium.
Today, it exists alongside Vajrāyāna Buddhism, and many of its beliefs and practices have been incorporated into Vajrāyāna.
Bön makes use of rituals and magic to contact and access the power of deities and spirits.
Bön believes in a spiritual dimension known as the "dngos-po" or "pure realm".
This realm is believed to be inhabited by enlightened beings who have achieved spiritual liberation.
It is believed that by connecting with these enlightened beings through visualisation and meditation, they can gain access to the wisdom and blessings of the pure realm.

“In Tibetan, Guru Padmasambhava is generally referred to as Guru Rinpoche, which means “precious master.” Guru Rinpoche is a totally enlightened being, a fully awakened one, a buddha. He did not become enlightened gradually, or start practicing the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni and eventually achieve enlightenment. Guru Rinpoche incarnated as a fully enlightened being. Through his form, primordial wisdom manifests in the world to benefit all sentient beings,” explains the Padmasambhava Buddhist Center.
His appearance was actually predicted by Buddha Shakyamuni through nineteen different sutras and tantras that contain clear information about his arrival and activities. Buddha Shakyamuni even said that Padmasambhava would be more enlightened than himself:
According to the Padmasambhava Buddhist Center, the Buddha said: “Eight years after my mahaparinirvana [freedom after death], a remarkable being with the name Padmasambhava will appear in the center of a lotus and reveal the highest teaching concerning the ultimate state of the true nature, bringing great benefit to all sentient beings.”
But who exactly was Padmasambhava, really?
Padmasambhava was an Indian tantric master who played a major role in bringing Vajrayana Buddhism from India to Tibet during the eighth century. Though he has been the subject of many legends and myths, little is known about his life from a historical perspective.
One of the things we know is that he helped establish Tibet’s first Buddhist monastery, located in Samye. He is also considered the founder of the Nyingma school, one of the four major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and the oldest one. In this lineage, and particularly in the Dzogchen teachings (which focus on discovering the ultimate ground of existence), he is considered an important symbol of enlightenment and an object of meditation.
“The word Padma is Sanskrit. It was preserved as a Tibetan word and means lotus flower. Sambbava means ‘born from.’ Padmasambhava’s usual name in Tibetan, is Perna Jungney, translated from the Sanskrit name Padmakara, which means “originated from a lotus.” When Padmakara was born from a lotus flower and, also, while being led back by King lndrabhuti [his adoptive father], wherever he was set down, a lotus spontaneously sprung up. The king [would then exclaim], “This child is truly a lotus-hom one!” Therefore he became renowned as Padmakara. (...) Later, when he became learned in the fields of knowledge and presided as the head of five hundred great panditas [eminent scholars and masters in Tibetan Buddhism], he was known as Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born. Thus he is indeed named after his manner of birth.” This explanation was given by Yeshe Tsogyal, who lived in the 8th century CE and was considered the mother of Tibetan Buddhism.

Sambbava means ‘born from.’ Padmasambhava’s usual name in Tibetan, is Perna Jungney, translated from the Sanskrit name Padmakara, which means “originated from a lotus.” When Padmakara was born from a lotus flower and, also, while being led back by King lndrabhuti [his adoptive father], wherever he was set down, a lotus spontaneously sprung up. The king [would then exclaim], “This child is truly a lotus-hom one!” Therefore he became renowned as Padmakara. (...) Later, when he became learned in the fields of knowledge and presided as the head of five hundred great panditas [eminent scholars and masters in Tibetan Buddhism], he was known as Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born. Thus he is indeed named after his manner of birth.” This explanation was given by Yeshe Tsogyal, who lived in the 8th century CE and was considered the mother of Tibetan Buddhism.

AI Light
Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism are two branches of Buddhism that share the goal of attaining Buddhahood for the benefit of all beings but differ in their methods and philosophies. Mahayana, meaning "Great Vehicle," emphasizes the Bodhisattva path, where practitioners strive for enlightenment over many lifetimes to help others achieve liberation. Key teachings include compassion (karuna) and wisdom (prajna) through understanding emptiness (shunyata). Vajrayana, or "Diamond Vehicle," is considered an esoteric extension of Mahayana, offering a faster path to enlightenment, often within a single lifetime, through Tantric practices. Vajrayana integrates mantras, deity visualizations, and rituals, transforming negative emotions into enlightened awareness. It places strong emphasis on the role of the guru and ritual symbolism, utilizing advanced yogic techniques to accelerate spiritual progress. While both traditions focus on compassion and wisdom, Vajrayana’s unique Tantric methods provide an accelerated path to liberation, particularly in the Tibetan Buddhist context.
