Whilst lojong and paramita sadhana are most definitely Tibetan Buddhist practices, as paramitayana they're not Vajrayana but Mahayana practices... Not tantric practices at all therefore. I think they probably shouldn't be mentioned on this page. Any opinions?

As there is such a big overlap between this page and the
Vajrayana page, would it not make more sense to combine them both into just one article? A lot of the material is repeated verbatim in both places. What is the difference between Tantra techniques and Vajrayana, if any? Could someone please clarify. Thanks a lot. (

The Vajrayana page is already so long, I don't think I'd agree with this. If anything, this article could be expanding with more details of various practices.

Aren't these two sections about the same topic? Or am I missing something? I think these two sections should be merged in some way. Any comments?

Not really. It seems like in the Hindu context the word sadhana is used very generally to mean "practice," but in the Buddhist context it is used specifically to mean vajrayana ritual texts and the meditation practices based directly thereupon. This distinction has been obscured on wikipedia thanks to B9 Hummingbird's indiscriminate use of the Hindu sense of the term in articles about Buddhism. I've been trying to fix this whenever I come across it. Usually sadhanas don't involve sexual yoga.

Oh, yes, B9 Hummingbird. His ban discussion on
WP:ANI was how I came to put several of these articles on my watchlist in the first place.

15 Sadhanas?
I'm interested to know where this list of 15 sadhanas of the Nalanda tradition came from.....Chod was not, think, something practiced at Nalanda. And this list omits BuddhaKapala, and Shri Caturpitha, and Mahamaya.....these were almost certainly well known at Nalanda? — Preceding
