Superiority of Tantra
People like to argue about which form of Buddhism is the best. Not surprisingly, they usually say their own. I usually dont like these discussions, but thought I would post the traditional explanation why tantra is superior.
First, tantra is superior because its methods for controlling the drops and winds is a faster way to cultivate the understanding of emptiness. Second, it has a vast variety of methods that accord with the result to be attained, the two bodies of a buddha. Third, because the path is traversed quickly, it avoids the hardship of practicing for three kalpas. Fourth, it is suited for persons of sharp faculties, who can quickly be introduced to the nature of things as they are.
