View source for Resultant vehicle

The '''resultant vehicle''' (Skt. ''phalayāna''; [[Wyl.]] '' 'bras bu'i theg pa''), or '''‘fruitional vehicle’''' refers to the '''[[Tantrayana]]''' (aka [[Mantrayana]] or [[Vajrayana]]). It is the called ‘fruitional’ or ‘resultant’, because the path is no longer based on establishing the cause, but identifying directly with the ''fruition''—the fundamentally pure essence of mind, or [[buddha nature]], which has been present within our minds from the very beginning, but has been temporarily obscured.
