yogas taught in Shingon. Not feeling satisfied with the
results of this meditation, he then went to Tibet and
learned the Anuttarayoga. His knowledge in the Tantras
complete, he was able to help many monks and lay
people understand the Vajrayana.
Only when one has studied everything one may criticize,
but not before.
d. Conflicts in Tibet
In Tibet, they surely all believe in the three yanas but
there is a little conflict from differences in doctrine
between the New Sect (Gelugpa) formed upon the
teachings of Tsong-khapa, and the Old Sects
(Nyingmapa, Kargyupa, Sakyapa, etc.). We should
examine these conflicting points and see whether or not
they can be "harmonized."
Tsong-khapa does admit that the Great Perfection of the
Nyingmapa or any other Mahamudra realization cannot
be attained unless one has first practiced the third
initiation which empowers one to meditate using the
divine yogic union. He did not want to separate these
and said one may only attain the fourth initiation (for
instance, Mahamudra) after practicing the third. The
Nyingmapas, however, teach two ways: one of
liberation and the other of vajra-love practice. Both,
claim the teachers of the Red Sect, can lead their
practitioners to Full Enlightenment in this life.
