It is widely known as Tibetan Buddhism though tantric Buddhism is also found in Japan, in the Shingon and Tendai traditions. Vajrayana takes its name from vajra, Sanskrit for “diamond” or “thunderbolt,” suggesting the power of its methods.What is the Vajrayana path?

What is the difference between Paramitayana and Vajrayana?
Vajrayana, belonging to the mantrayana, can also be distinguished from the paramitayana. According to this schema, Indian Mahayana revealed two vehicles ( yana) or methods for attaining enlightenment: the method of the perfections ( Paramitayana) and the method of mantra ( Mantrayana ).Where did the Vajrayana spread?
It rather quickly spread out of India and became established in several parts of the Buddhist world, particularly in Tibet, where it became the dominant form of Buddhism. Indeed, the Vajrayana is often referred to simply as “Tibetan Buddhism.”
What is the difference between Vajrayana and Yana?
Vajrayana is sometimes referred to as Tibetan Buddhism. The term Vajrayana roughly means ”the way of the diamond.” The word Vajra refers to the diamond-hard thunderbolt that was used as a weapon by the Hindu god of thunder and rain, Indra. Yana refers to the way, or the spiritual vehicle, for achieving enlightenment.What is the difference between Hinayana and Vajrayana?
The Hinayana and Mahayana are called ‘causal vehicles’ because they set in motion the processes which will cause enlightenment to happen sometime in the future. In contrast, the Vajrayana is distinctive in that enlightenment itself is the path. Hence, Vajrayana is referred to as the ‘result vehicle.’
