[[File:Vajradhara.png|frame|[[Vajradhara]]]] '''Vajrayana''' (Skt. ''vajrayāna''; Tib. ''dorje tekpa''; [[Wyl.]] ''rdo rje theg pa'') or 'Vajra Vehicle'. The teaching, and practice, of the Vajrayana or ‘[[secret mantra|Secret Mantra Vehicle]]’ lies at the heart of the [[Mahayana]] Buddhist tradition of Tibet. Based on the motivation of [[bodhichitta]]—the wish to attain, for the sake of others, the state of complete enlightenment—the Vajrayana is a path centred on cultivating [[pure perception]]. It contains many powerful methods for accumulating [[merit]] and [[wisdom]], in order to arrive swiftly at a direct realization of [[buddha nature]] and the nature of reality itself. Through the practices of [[kyerim|visualization]], [[mantra]] recitation and [[meditation]], ordinary perception is transformed into a ‘sacred outlook,’ where everything is seen and experienced purely in its true nature. It is important to remember that all these methods are merely [[skilful means]], not the goal itself. As His Holiness the [[Dalai Lama]] says, “Buddhism is not about rituals, mantras, visualizations, or ceremonies. They may be part of it, but the fundamental point of Buddhism is to transform the mind.” He also explains that the word ‘[[mantra]]’ in Secret Mantrayana means ‘that which protects the mind.’ Here, mantra protects the mind against ordinary perception. This is also the real meaning of ‘[[vajra]]’ in the word ‘Vajrayana.’ The Vajrayana is not a separate [[vehicle]] from [[Mahayana]], but actually belongs within [[Mahayana]] as a distinctive vehicle of [[skilful means]]. ==The Four Distinguishing Features of the Vajrayana== Although the Sutrayana and Mantrayana both have as their ultimate goal the attainment of perfect buddhahood, the Mantrayana differs from the Sutrayana in the way that goal is attained. There are four distinguishing features<ref>[[Jamgön Kongtrul]] & [[Jokyab Rinpoche]] also mention six, seven, or twelve ways in which the Mantrayana is superior to the Sutrayana. See ''The Light of Wisdom Vol. One'', translated by Erik Pema Kunsang (Boudhanath: Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 1999), pages 154 & 280. </ref> that make it superior: #the unobscured view, #the many methods of meditation, #the action that is without difficulty and #the extremely sharp faculties of the individual.<ref>[[Khenpo Ngawang Pelzang]], ''[[A Guide to the Words of My Perfect Teacher]]'' (Boston & London: Shambhala, 2004), page 31</ref> As it says in ''The Torch of the Three Methods'': {{tibquote|དོན་གཅིག་ན་ཡང་མ་རྨོངས་དང༌། །<br /> ཐབས་མང་དཀའ་བ་མེད་པ་དང༌། །<br /> དབང་པོ་རྣོན་པོའི་དབང་བྱས་པས། །<br /> སྔགས་ཀྱི་ཐེག་པ་ཁྱད་པར་འཕགས། །<br />}} It has the same goal but is free from all confusion,<br /> It is rich in methods and without difficulties.<br /> It is for those with sharp faculties.<br /> The mantra vehicle is especially sublime.<br /> ==Notes & References== <small><references/></small> ==Oral Teachings Given to the Rigpa Sangha== *[[Khandro Rinpoche]], Rigpa Berlin Centre, 17-18 April 2012, 'The Vajrayana Tradition of Tibet - An Introduction' *[[Sogyal Rinpoche]], [[Lerab Ling]], 26 June 2004, 12.00 *[[Sogyal Rinpoche]], [[Lerab Ling]], 23 July 2004, 11.45 ===Edited Teachings of Sogyal Rinpoche=== *Ngöndrolink December 2005, ''The Essence of the Vajrayana'', [[Lerab Ling]], 19 July 2005 (available in English, French and German, CDE 440) *Ngöndrolink October 2004, ''The Attitude of Secret Mantrayana'', Haileybury, 7 April 2004 (available in English, French and German, CDE 434) *Rigpalink August 2004, ''Releasing the Energy of Wisdom and Compassion'', London, 28 June 2004 & Lerab Ling, 12 July 2004 (available in English, French and German, CDE367) ==Further Reading== *''A Guide to Vajrayana Practice for the Rigpa Sangha'' (Lodève: The Tertön Sogyal Trust, 2006), Section 1.
