| | Vajrayana Buddhism was founded in the eighth century by the great enlightened Indian tantric master Padmasambhava, "the second Buddha," and is the oldest of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism (Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelugpa). | | | Vajrayana Buddhism, also commonly called Tantric Buddhism, is the "Diamond Vehicle." It developed out of the Mahayana teachings in northwest India around 500 C.E. and spread to Tibet, China and Japan. | | | To continue a study of Vajrayana is to enter a realm of devotion, lyricism and experience--the intangibles of all religion, which are at once, paradoxically, ephemeral and yet the base upon which religion stands. |

| | Vajrayana: Gothic Buddhism? |
| | Part of Vajrayana Buddhism is the belief that ancient Buddhist masters were able to tame powerful demons, to bind them to an unbreakable oath to do good and to protect the religion and its followers. | | | Like all Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism is based on the idea that "life is suffering." In other words, a basic component of existing is the fact that the being who is existing will eventually suffer. | | | The purpose of this page is to show that Vajrayana Buddhism (also known as Tantric Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Lamaism) is very closely related to many ideas in the Western gothic subculture. |

| | The term Buddhism, as it has come to be used, particularly in connection with the phrase or movement, "Western Buddhism," is often no longer an accurate or appropriate translation of the Sanskrit word Dharma, or of its Tibetan equivalent, Chö. | | | Although Sutrayana Buddhism bears some resemblance to the isms with which we in the West are familiar, the vehicles of Vajrayana are of a specifically different character. | | | The form of the guru is regarded as a self-existing manifestation of the truth in the search for the basic sanity of vajrayana. |
