@Meaningness reading about the history of tantra in Tibet; teachings are given to siddhi in visions by Vairocana, Vajradhara, Nairātmyā, etc

@Meaningness well, it's hardly as if we can establish that, either … but with the tantras, the myths aren't even trying for that fig leaf? -
@joXn Even within Hinayana, it’s obvious that later writers were barely trying to preserve the “Shakyamuni said it” trope. - 2 more replies
