Answer:

Vajrayana is sometimes referred to as Tibetan Buddhism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vajrayana teaches ahimsa, which is sanscrit concept for "not injuring" and "compassion", , as a virtue to be cultivated.

It is nonviolence , to all living things, animals and humans,.

Since everything living has a spark of a divine spirtual energy, hurting or causing any form of pain to another one is to hurt onelsef .

Ahimsa includes karma as consequence for an action causing harm, and according to this principle Mahatma Gandhi tried to measure his political acting.
