Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tantric Buddhism is sometimes described as offering a shortcut to enlightenment.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the Vajrayāna the “path of the fruit” is taken whereby the practitioner takes his or her innate Buddha-nature as the means of practice. The premise is that since we innately have an enlightened mind, practicing seeing the world in terms of ultimate truth can help us to attain our full Buddha-nature.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Path to Enlightenment in Buddhism is entirely concerned with being mindful. There is no alternative path. To be mindful is the most direct way to free ourselves from the world of conditioned reality, the world of thinking, which hinders us from seeing the Absolute Truth.
