I just dig deeper and it appears to have been applied to Tibetan Buddhism by Theosophists. Seems they do things like this a lot, like attributing The Akashic Record to Hinduism. Thx for leading me to deeper knowledge ♥
No probs 😊yes new agers also have taken words and single concepts or meditations and create new things that Tibetan buddhists dont recognise, like singing bowls.. hippies invented sound baths lol we just used them ti keep time 😂
Seriously. Whenever I dig deeper on a topic and hit Theosophy I do an eye roll. I flipped through my Tibetan Book of the Dead and there's no mention of it.
