This lecture will present evidence that the Herukābhidānatantra, also known as the Laghusaṃvara, the Mūlatantra of the Cakrasaṃvara division of the Buddhist Yoginītantras, is largely constructed of passages lifted from or modelled on non/Buddhist sources, and that it was rendered increasingly more Buddhist as it
passed through successive stages of redaction.
