Jenny, thank you for this essay. I would love to learn more about tantra and what new experiences this path may lead to. Already very much familiar with stoicism, in fact I love it! Tantra looks like a brave new world that is waiting to be discovered. Keep up the good work and good luck in your writing journey.
The boundaries of tantra are always interesting to me. I’ve listened to Nyingma lamas who promote tantra from within the Buddhist paradigm, by contrasting tantra with the Sutric renunciatory practices in Theravada etc. I like this as it shows things evolving with each turning of the wheel 🛞
Also existence IS wonderful and luscious and miraculous. So there’s that.
You just aren't aware of how much you're deeply suffering yet!! :P
It's true - the edges are still fuzzy for me too. I've heard it said that Shaiva tantra and buddhist tantra are more similar to each other than each to either of their broader traditions
where’s part deux jenny? now don’t go keepin your insights just for yourself☺️
It's true, thanks for the nudge! I always felt like this was unfinished business 😅

Appreciate your comment Tomas! Hell yeah, I'd recommend Tantra Illuminated as a pretty comprehensive place to get started 😎
