Tantra is for extremists, but balanced extremists.
Tantra is for the person who has self control but doesn’t care anymore. It is for the person who is able to abandon self-control and its fixation.
Tantra is only recommended for someone who has a very developed will power, a terrific sense of humor, and a sense that nothing else matters but God and self-realization.
If you think that material success will bring you happiness, relationships, people, places, things, fame, fortune, you definitely should not practice tantra.
Tantra does not seek any type of experience, nor does it avoid it.
You shouldn’t run around killing people or eating meat. That’s not what we mean by tantra. There’s no need to break the rules.
Tantra is for the advanced spiritual practitioner who is ready to push aside spiritual practice in the name of spiritual practice.
Tantra is for the person who has gone beyond the rules. They’ve learned the rules so well that now they can go beyond them.
Tantra won’t work unless you’ve been trapped by spirituality. You have to be trapped by spirituality before you can be liberated from it.
In tantra we have complete faith in the winds of eternity. The key to tantra yoga is to feel that you are not the doer, that you cannot possibly act. All you have to do in life is to accept.
Since everything is God and everything contains God, you see God in everything, everything is a step towards liberation.
In tantra, samsara is viewed as the same thing as nirvana. Eating a hamburger is meditation.
For most people the prohibitions are a good thing. But If you are able to maintain very powerful states of mind, then you’ll find yourself in everything you see.
Tantric Buddhists don’t believe in sin. Stupidity, yes, meaning we make ourselves or others suffer.
One person will eat meat and it will lower their attention field. Another person won’t even be affected by it because they’re not in the state of mind whereby they’ll be affected by it.
For the person who wants to get to the mystical experience directly, Tantric Buddhism is the path.
Zen is Tantric Buddhism, Vajrayana is tantric Buddhism – these are various forms of it. Tantric Buddhism simply means cutting to the chase.
Tantra is quicker; but for some people it can be spiritually disastrous.
Why don’t you like being you for a change? Just be different and don’t hate yourself and feel very good about all your different desires and all the things you didn’t want and want. Go get them all, and see what it’s like.
There’s a path in enlightenment called the path of negation where we intentionally throw ourselves into experiences that are extremely transient. In other words, we do all the stuff you’re supposed to normally avoid to become enlightened, intentionally.
