All about me
Garchen Rinpoche reply on Bodhisattva teaching, “ there's no time we don't think of other we think only to ourself that the reason we are unhappy “
Sadly on facebook is one big phenomena look by yourself how many people take photo of themselves saying I'm doing this or I'm doing, in psychology today that phenomena have been describe as self absorb.
Yes we living in pure selfish world as always be but, in our time we got this particularity to be super selfish, that don't mean we have or have not quality but the first things we like to do is think for self in stead of think on others.
That true also we have to find the right balance, Tony Robbins say that if we work to much on self them we become depress and if we work to much on others them we become lost and he finish by saying a good balance is important.
So in our time we miss the balance we are focus by social conditioning to become that kind of fake god or goddess we see in the media, but in reality loud of us have a low self esteem, make them act even more selfishly.
What is make us act bad making wrong decision and also the bad karma that go with it, so advice of the Garchen Rinpoche on that is pretty simple, one side we have to work on self on the other side we have to help others we will be never happy by not helping others, even a little everyday is huge.

What is and what's not Tantric
When we touch on that subject generally we have two ways the proper way and the way people think is .
In the west we see the sexuality like a how to get an orgasm in the east that a bit a different for those call Tantrica the goal is to touch the ultimate enlightenment .
Origins of Buddhist Tantra
As
with many other aspects of Buddhism, myth and
history don't always find their way to the same ball park.
Vajrayana
Buddhists say tantric practices were expounded by the historical
Buddha. A king approached the Buddha and explained that his
responsibilities did not allow him to abandon his people and become a
monk. Yet in his privileged position he was surrounded by temptations
and pleasures. How could he realize enlightenment? The Buddha
responded by teaching the king tantric practices that would transform
pleasures into transcendent realization.
Historians
speculate that tantra was developed by Mahayana teachers in India
very early in the first millennia CE, possibly as a way to reach
those who weren't responding to teachings from the sutras.
Wherever
it came from, by the 7th century CE tantric Buddhism was fully
systematized in northern India. This was significant to the
development of Tibetan Buddhism. The first Buddhist teachers in
Tibet, beginning in the 8th century with the arrival of Guru rinpoche
were tantric teachers from northern India.
By
contrast, Buddhism reached China about the year 1. Mahayana Buddhist
sects that emerged in China, such as Pure Land and Zen, also
incorporate tantric practices, but these are not nearly as elaborate
as in Tibetan tantra.
What
is not Tantric if someone tell you, you will have much pleasure we
will do tantric, that clear this person don't know what is tantric
is.
Of course there's many visualisation able to make your body react in some way or other but when we touch to the pure Tantric that totally different.
So Tantric in our era of everything “yes” but as Shamarpa “first remind the bodhisattvas practice and as say Garchen Rinpoche remind always Bodhicitta.
So what is tantric is part of visualisation and also work with your energies after there's many tantras so each is usually different.
So next time you see someone tell you that produce or that stuff is tantric, that maybe a good meditation to put you in the right place you want to be but that not Tantric.
Tantric at the end is to realise enlightenment not ultimate pleasure !!!
