I don't know of any rational justification for the belief that the Mahayana literature can be credibly attributed to the historical Gautama Buddha. If there is such credible, rational justification, please connect me to it.

Perhaps some of our Tibetan Buddhist or other Mahayana practitioners would like to comment ?
