Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Rain of Wisdom/Glossary + (rdo rje theg pa;diamond-like,indestructibl … rdo rje theg pa;diamond-like,indestructible vehicle;diamond-like,indestructible vehicle;vajrayāna;The earliest literary evidence of vajrayāna surfaced in India around the middle centuries of the first millenium. Since this yāna consists of oral instructions and secret teachings, which would only have been given privately to a few of the most advanced students, or even to a master's single dharma heir, it is difficult to know how far back in history the tradition goes. Professor H. V. Guenther dates Śrī Siṃha, a great master of the ati lineage, at 52 A.D. It is quite likely that the availability of literary evidence really marks a second or third stage in the spreading of vajrayāna. From great masters like Śrī Siṃha or Saraha, who lived in solitary circumstances and had only a few disciples, vajrayāna entered the monastic framework, and from there, masters began to systematize it and make the teachings more accessible to a wider range of students.<br> In general, vajrayāna instruction is of two kinds: instruction meant to be understood the moment that it is shown, for giñed students capable of instantaneous enlightenment;and instruction by graded stages of practice, for those who come gradually to enlightenment.<br> From India and Central Asia, vajrayāna spread to Tibet, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Although anuttarayoga tantra was taught in China, it was not widely practiced and does not survive today. The japanese Shingon ("true word," i.e., mantrayāna) school, transmitted by Kobo Daishi, includes teachings of the lower tantras but not those of anuttaratantra.<br> It is said that Śākyamuni manifested as Vajradhara in order to teach vajrayāna. The tantras do not tend to present a dialogue between wakefulness and confusion, as in the sl1tras. Rather, vajrayāna presents the actuality of fruition.1tras.
