Hinayana, Mahayana & Vajrayana

Vajrayana is the use of subtle vital energies to transform the mind. The gross mind is neutralized and the subtle mind rides on the clear light of bliss. This inner light is considered the only aspect of existence that is eternal. Once uncovered, one is said to be capable of attaining Buddha-hood.
In the practice of rituals, the diamond sceptre (vajra) symbolizes method and the bell wisdom. With their unification the human being obtains the insight that all dualities derive from Relative Truth and that, in Absolute Truth, subject and object, internal and external world, nirvana and samsara are one and empty.

Considerations
Civilization has nothing to do with having electric lights, airplanes, or manufacturing atomic bombs. It has nothing to do with killing human beings, destroying things or waging war. Civilization is to hold one another in mutual affection and respect.

Dulak Sivaraksa, founder
The Heart Sutra of Profound Illimination
noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva mahasattva, said Form is emptiness; emptiness also is form. Emptiness is no other than form; form is no other than emptiness.
In the same way, feeling, perception, formation, and consciousness are emptiness. Thus, all dharmas are emptiness. There are no characteristics. There is no birth and no cessation. There is no impurity and no purity. There is no decrease and no increase.
in emptiness, there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no formation, no consciousness no ignorance, no end of ignorance up to no old age and death, no end of old age and death; no suffering, no origin of suffering, no cessation of suffering, no path, no wisdom, no attainment, and no nonattainment.
Summary
You are the source of suffering & liberation A soft heart & quiet mind can see the truth Ignorance is a mistake in identity Truth sees the mistake & eliminates suffering Compassion & wisdom are the tools Vow of the Bodhisattva
