Modern Buddhism combines Western principles and functions with some Buddhist elements. Since its core is largely 1800s German philosophy, it is does not fit into any of the traditional yanas. Several major Buddhist sects developed modern versions though.https://vividness.live/2011/06/16/the-making-of-buddhist-modernism/ …

Huh, but on the chart anuyoga is shown as #8 whereas it seems atiyoga is #9 and is the same as dzogchen. And I thought your approach was based in dzogchen...pic.twitter.com/mThbmFrV0U

Well, yes, but inasmuch as I talk about tantra, it’s with anuyoga tendencies, which makes sense since anuyoga is the yana closest to atiyoga.

Huh! Ok, so... is that why Bodhisattva "vows" don't quite make sense in tantra? Because instead of saying, "I vow to keep trying for the impossible" it's like... get on with it? (I'm reminded of Alan Watts saying, "Oh, come off it, Shiva!")

Right! Although it's more that the vows are understood differently: as "I vow to maintain awareness that I am always already a fully-enlightened Buddha, and THEREFORE have benevolent intent, and the power to actualize it." https://vividness.live/2015/11/27/emptiness-form-and-dzogchen-ethics/ …pic.twitter.com/a41RSjes77
