| | Nirvana and Samsara Are Not the Same |
 | | The third of the three traditional yanas of Buddhism was built upon the Mahayana tradition (and, therefore, at least some of the original seeds of the Hinayana tradition), and it added tantric and Taoist yogic and mystical techniques (as well as magical religious ceremonialism and devotional practices) to that basic Mahayana tradition. | | | Therefore, this Advaitayana Buddhism is the true "Western Buddhism." The Buddhisms of the three earlier yanas expanded successfully in the East in earlier centuries (during their creative phase), but they did not pass to the West via a process of real cultural transformation. | | | Therefore, each of the three earlier yanas of Buddhism as well as the newly arising Advaitayana Buddhism are associated with unique institutions. |

| | Yana |
| | In the Indian religions Buddhism and Hinduism, both yana and marga (road or path) express the metaphor of spiritual practice as a path or journey. | | | Yana has been used subsequently in a number of schemas of the Mahayana Buddhist teachings in which there have been two, three, five, six, nine, and more vehicles. | | | The use of yana to refer to a spiritual journey may date to the Rig Veda, possibly composed circa 1500 BCE, whose 10th Mandala makes several references to devayana, (translators usually render this as the "path of the gods" or similar) and one reference to pitryana ("path of the fathers"). |

| | The Four Yanas of Buddhism |
| | Thus, if you look at all of the yanas within the Buddhist tradition, the three historical yanas previous to My Revelation of Advaitayana Buddhism cover the span of the first six stages of life, generally speaking. | | | There are three yanas among the historical Buddhist traditions. | | | Similarly, then, Advaitayana Buddhism, or the Way of the Heart, or Ruchira Buddhism, is the single Way that covers all of the stages of life, but not limited to the first six. |

| | Just as inventing a whole new religion when these yanas (and I'd include [obviously] Buddhism, Kashmir Shaivism, Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Kabbalah, Sufism, Gnosticism, Alchemy, certain forms of shamanism, and various and sundry sadhu-sages scattered throughout India) are veritable horns 'o plenty of techniques for liberation. | | | It is my suspicion that if I had encountered Frank before Buddhism and had been receptive to his prose style I might have succumbed to the same thing, as I would have had absolutely no basis of comparison, and to the untrained in the enlightenment yanas, I'm sure his stuff can sound radical and amazing. | | | Frank is not offering more here in absolute terms (though he says he is) than any of the other yanas. |
