Was realizing this yesterday and wanted to share.
First, the reason Toltec and Buddhism can be linked is because they both embody truth. So, if something is a truth, in whatever manner its conveyed, it remains true. So there can be cross referencing and one does not detract from the other, but merely shows what's true in both cases.
The Wheel of Dharma...the three revolutions of
First revolution- relative reality
Second revolution -emptiness
Third revolution - Buddha nature
Toltec teachings
Tonal - first revolution
Nagual- second revolution
Totality of one's self - third revolution
People who like Toltec wisdom better than Buddhism, certainly understandable and this cross reference does not undermine either teaching, just shows how the truth is understood around the globe...in Asia and in the Americas, differently but not different truths. So they can actually bring more clarity when explored together. Perhaps this is why this sub-forum was created...one reason for it.
