"For a person to indulge in sensual pleasures without sensual passion, without sensual perception, without sensual thinking: That isn’t possible." -- from MN 22, translation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. What do you think of this passage? I feel like it's pretty darn clear, without even looking at the Pali text.
Would it then be correct to assume that most tantric practices are not in accordance with the Dhamma? This pretty much single-handedly DESTROYS the authority and reputation of one whole "Buddhist tradition" (not going to name it), with its many sects and centuries of history.
Also, pretty sure we can find a passage that says "one who isn't free of sensual passion himself cannot possibly free another [from it]". There was something like that in the suttas.
Tatra (read: ta-[nk]tra) is an
ancient treatment method,
such as acupuncture treatment methods.
It has nothing to do with buddhism.
Same with shaolin, what does it have
To do with buddhism??
That doesn't mean you can't use tatric
or shaolin martial arts. However, it has
nothing to do with buddhism!
Same with the story of the monkey stealth fiction.
Im talking about Buddhå Gotamå's teaching,
Not another. If non-theravādå think that from
Buddhå Gotamå, ofc 100.000 asangkheyyā
+ 100.000 kappā % = WRONG.
