I learned, like Jake in Avatar, that the true Tantric journey is, first, a lone struggle of self-discovery.

It was in this fashion that the Buddhists of Magadha accepted Śktist and tantric ideas.

But these are probably special meanings attached to the words by tantric schools.

The later (but still not tantric) doctrines of Indian Mahayanism are naturally prominent.

The ecstasies induced by tantric rites produce this here in a preliminary form to be made perfect in the liberated soul.

And if we look at the abuses of both systems the fossilized monk of the Hinayana will compare favourably with the tantric adept.
