Tantra Yoga [Culture Shock: Westerners, Yoga and India ]

[Guest guest]

I just ran across the following statement in a discussion of incense:

 

"Tumeric is mentioned as one of the five incense in one of the

Esoteric Sutras (Vajrayana) commonly referred to as the Yoga Tantra or

Vajradhatu lineage which is the basis for Tibetan Buddhism."

 

So, hmmmmm. The advertisement you saw says "Tantra Yoga", and the

incense expert refers to "Yoga Tantra". Maybe related, possibly

not. Given that what you saw was an advertisement, I am guessing

that Mary Ann is right, and the blurb refers to sexuality in some

(money-making) way.

 

Back to the incense expert's quote:

Not knowing much about Tibetan Buddhism, I googled "vajrayana".

>From about.com:

Vajrayana - The Diamond Vehicle

 

Vajrayana Buddhism emerged in Tibet about the 7th century C.E. Its

prominent symbol is the 'vajra' translated as diamond or thunderbolt.

With its emphasis on yogic practices and its reliance on tantric

teachings, Vajryana offers a speedier route to enlightenment.
