In some Buddhist texts — such as some of the guidance for meditators by Jigme Lingpa (1729-1798) — the image of white ravens is used similarly to how black swan gets used, although a white raven has a connotation that most people don’t want to hear it.

Eg: JigLing says this thing about lots of people running their mouth talking about mediation and enlightenment, boasting signs of accomplishment. He says that the people who point this out are regarded as white ravens: freaky outsider who no one wants to listen to
