The teachings were Tibetan in origin, and have to do with ways in which one can definitely mess up after realization of enlightenment and make it "go away."  TIA, Unc   Nonesense.  Chagdud Tulku says, "Once one is able to see through samsara, that realization never goes away." (Gates to Buddhist Practice, Pg 170. Pilgrim Publishing, 2001)"On that basis we walk the Bodhisattva path."  On the path one goes through cycles. As you know Unc, Buddhists don't believe in evolution, they believe in the wheel.  Up and down.  So for that reason the Vajrayana has nine levels. People are taught that they are sequential, but they are not. They are concurrent. It's good to study all the yanas, because as Chagdud further reveals, "It's because of our tendency to fall back into old habits that we use visualization; we purify distorted perception by visualizing phenomena purely...We learn to see the snake differently until finally we can see that it really is rope." (Pg 171.)  Moreover, "We take two different tacks (sic) in order to attain realization. One involves visualization practice, because our habit lie very deep...if we don't need that process we take the other tack (sic) and go directly to the...Great Perfection, simply resting in nondual awareness as all dillusion simply blows away."
