Differences

Post by avatamsaka3 »

What are some of the differences between the teachings of the Shingon and the Tibetan traditions? This is an intentionally open-ended question. Please feel free to include any information that occurs to you. Of course, one is Japanese and the other is from the Tibetan plateau; one was founded by Kukai, whereas many Indians and Tibetans contributed to the development of Tibetan Buddhism. I'm interested in differences in terms of things like tantric practice, the notion of a gradual path, Madhyamaka, specific teachings that may differ, etc.
