'''Tantrayana''' (Skt. ''tantrayāna''; Tib. ཐེག་པ་རྒྱུད་, ''tekpa gyü'', [[Wyl.]] ''theg pa rgyud''), otherwise known as Mantrayana or the [[Vajrayana]]. It is the ‘Fruitional’ or ‘Resultant Vehicle’, because the [[path]] is no longer based on establishing the cause, but identifying directly with the [[fruition]]. [[Tantra]] begins with the view that the final attainment or result has been within the mind from the very beginning, but has been obscured by [[ignorance]] and [[adventitious stains|adventitious defilements]]. Both [[sutra]] and [[tantra]] share the same ultimate goal of [[enlightenment]]. The greatest difference between them lies in the methods employed.
