When we use the term Buddhists, we do not mean to imply by it either the exoteric Buddhism instituted by the followers of Gautam Baddha, or the modern Buddhistic religion, but the secret philosophy of sakyamuni, which in its essence is certainly identical with the ancient Wisdom-Religion of the sanctuary, the pre-Vedic Brahmansim. Neither Buddha, Pythagorass, Orpheus, Socrates, nor even Jesus, left behind them any writings. The esoteric teaching of Buddha were the Gupta Vidya (secret knowledge) of the ancient Brahmins, the key to which their modern successors have, with few exceptions, completely lost. And this Vidya has passed into what is now known as the inner teachings of the Mahayana school of Northern Buddhism.
