Buddhist Teachings about Sex of Tantric Buddhism.

“Being able to have sexual contact without releasing semen is something needed when you practice the advanced stages of the complete stage."

"For Buddhists, sexual intercourse can be used in the spiritual path because it causes a strong focus on the consciousness if the practitioner has firm compassion and wisdom. Its purpose is to manifest and prolong deeper levels of mind (described earlier with respect to the process of dying), to put their power to use in strengthening the realization of the emptiness. Otherwise, mere intercourse has nothing to do with spiritual cultivation. When a person has achieved a high level of practice in motivation and wisdom, then even the joining of the two sex organs or so-called intercourse does not detract from the maintenance of that person’s pure behavior..."

"Through special techniques of concentration during sex, competent practitioners can prolong very deep, subtle, and powerful states and put them to use to realize emptiness. However, if you engage in sexual intercourse within an ordinary mental context, there is no benefit." - How to Practice, Way to a Meaningful Life, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Translated by Jeffrey Hopkin

I respect the views and wisdom of H. H Dalai lama.

As per my conviction: ~

Sex is nothing to do with the Soul, which is sexless because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The one which born, lives has sex, and dies within the world is not the Self because the ‘Self is birthless and deathless.

The ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If the ‘Self’ is not you, by you having sexual intercourse the ignorance will not vanish. The wisdom is not product intercourse. All these imaginary theories based on the false self within the false experience produce only hallucination not the realization of truth.

Those who propagate Samadhi through sexual intercourse are not Gnanis. Sexual intercourse has nothing to do with the Soul, which is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Those who indulge in sexual activities in order get enlightenment will permanently remain in the prison of the dualistic illusion. They are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge.

Sex and sexual acts are not the means to Self-realization because the Self is genderless and ever formless. Sex implies duality.

The tantric sex is a theory based on the false Self (you) within the false experience (waking).

When the world in which you exist is an illusion, thus having sex within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.

Sex belongs to the domain of the duality. What is the use of discussing celibacy and sexual poems in the Atmic path when the Atma is genderless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence?

Dalai Lama said: ~ Buddhism need not to be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulbarga).

Buddhists do not believe in Atma. Thus, the entire Buddhist theories and sutras are physical based, therefore; they yield the truth of the part not the truth of the whole. All the Buddhist teachings are not of the Buddhas but it is mixed up with other religions of different nations in Asia which were merged with Buddhism. Thus, it is very difficult to get pure essence of pure essence Bhagavan Buddha‘s wisdom.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. Advaitic Sages agree Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world.

Bhagavan Buddha told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Only when we independently search for the truth without religion and its doctrine then we will be able to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Buddhism believes in reincarnation. Buddhism does not believe in the existence of Athma. Buddhism does not believe in the existence of God whereas Sage Sankara proved the existence of Athma and the existence of Brahman or God by declaring Atman is Brahman. From the standpoint of Athma, reincarnation is an illusion because birth, life, death, and the world are merely an illusion.

Bhagavan Buddha was a Gnani, not his followers. Bhagavan Buddha’s wisdom was lost, it is because it was mixed up and messed up with other religions in Asia wherever it existed. Buddha started the quest and Sage Sri, Sankara completed the journey.

Bhagavan Buddha & Sage Sankara both are sages of truth. Humanity owes gratitude to both great sages of truth.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality because Buddhists do not believe in Athma. Nonduality has to be based on Athma. Athma is the very essence of non-duality.

Sage Sankara says the Athma is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Athma because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. The Athma is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. The Athma is the Self.

Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of world and he told people, they were foolish to cling to it. However, he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say, there is nothing - nonentity. Sage Sri, Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, he will know what to do to find inspiration for action. The seeker‘s subject is to know what is it that is Real.

Unless one exercises his Reason (Buddhi) there is no chance of getting the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
