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 !!!
