so Chinese Mahayanists should not think that they were
produced in China. Why do they not read the Chinese
Tripitaka? There are good translations of both the
Vajrasekhara and Mahavairocana Sutras, the canonical
bases of the Vajrayana of China and Japan. If
Mahayanists suspect the authenticity of the Vajrayana,
why do they not read these?
c.The Japanese Tantra versus the Tibetan Anuttarayoga
Teachers and writers on Shingon have said that the
highest yoga of the Tibetan Tantras is not the Buddha's
teaching. It has also been said that Padmasambhava was
not a true Buddhist but rather a follower of Brahmanism!
(Even some Gelugpas of great learning have said this.)
Japanese authorities have rebuked the fourth yoga
because of its secret Third Initiation yogic practices,
saying that these are very bad, immoral, and so forth.
They also hold that the fourth yoga is included in the
third (the Yoga-tantra, with its teachings of Vajradhatu
and Garbhadhatu), and that this third yoga is not found
in Tibet. But on both counts they are not correct: firstly,
the subjects dealt with in Anuttarayoga are only touched
upon in the third tantra-group; secondly, Tsong-khapa in
his sNgag-rim deals fully with the Yoga-tantra teaching,
though admittedly it is not as stressed as in Japan. The
fourth yoga was not, they must recognize, taken to
China or taught there by the three tantrika sages.
Kumarajiva, the great translator, certainly knew these
