History & overview · every faith gets one
The diamond path — enlightenment at full speed.
Tantric Buddhism, dominant in Tibet: visualization, mantra, and the guru's direct transmission, aiming at buddhahood in this very life. The vehicle that says the poison can be the medicine.
The founding
No single founder — Vajrayāna accreted rather than began.
What it holds
The divine. A vast iconography of buddhas and protectors — meditational, not creators.
Death and after. Rebirth — navigable, per the bardo teachings.
