2. The Transition to Vajrayana| Great Equilibrium (29)

“ In the vajrayana, there is an emphasis on upaya, or skillful means. In fact, one of the definitions of vajrayana is that it is composed of teachings based on a particular state of mind or mental approach, in which shunyata and prajna are put together and are regarded as upaya. So the combination of the emptiness nature of the phenomenal world and clear seeing is regarded as great compassion, which is considered to be a skillful means.”

2. The Transition to Vajrayana| Great Equilibrium (29)

“ By equilibrium, we mean comprehensive evenness. If there is black, that is not particularly great, nor is white particularly great, nor yellow, nor green. Everything is seen as equal. In terms of the sense perceptions, what you are perceiving is never regarded as being on a higher level or a lower level. Everything is on just the basic phenomenal level that takes place constantly.”

2. The Transition to Vajrayana| A Natural Ripening Process (42)

“ Although at this level the vajrayana could be called a journey, it does not go anywhere and it does not come from anywhere. So the vajrayana is a vehicle that seems to have neither beginning nor end. You can neither reverse it nor proceed further along. The vajrayana is self-existent, by its own nature. Therefore, the vajrayana path could be said to be a nonjourney.”

3. Entering the Diamond Path on a Solid Foundation | The View of Reality in the Three Yanas (49)

“The vajrayana, or diamond vehicle, is powerful because it is derived from the tranquility and readiness of the hinayana, and the purity and soft heart of the mahayana. When students have developed those qualities, the vajrayana becomes ready to launch its diamond ship into the oceans of those who are ready for it.”
