Shakyamuni and Consort Practice

Postby Konchog1 » Fri Dec 28, 2012 1:32 am

I've been reading a lot of things about Tantra, and they say Consort Practice is required at least once to attain enlightenment outside of the Bardo.

So, how did Shakyamuni attain enlightenment? He didn't have a consort under the Bodhi Tree with him.
