“What is Tantra?” Not the Buddhist Happy Meal Version

Ethan Nichtern is the one Shambhala teacher who teaches in a way that speaks truth to me. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s not the typical “I’m OK You’re OK” brand of buddhism that Shambhala have become the global purveyors of. [Go ahead and rant back at me in the comments below.] He has a frankness that cuts through self and cultural delusions. His teaching here on “What is Tantra?” is really a three-yana approach to the spiritual path, which in it’s fullness culminates in tantric practice. Ethan’s talk personally helped me break through a problem that I’ve been stuck on for the last six months; his frankness really gets through to me
