In the United States there is a very well-known and best-selling books continued, called the "moral and material cut hedonism" (Cutting femina 2011 through Spiritual Materialism, Shambhala, 1973), author of the last century the seventies and eighties the New Age movement femina 2011 has been in the United States femina 2011 (New Age Movement) in trouble in Tibet "hippies" Zhongba Buddha (Chögyam Trungpa, 1939-1987). Zhongba Buddha new era Americans spirituality and religion too persistent called "spiritual materialism" (Spiritual Materialism). He frantic behavior of this critique overkill, and make it evolve into spiritual and material comfort while beyond fanatical pursuit. Because Americans are crazy sexual liberation, nibbling drugs for Dream (acid trip), I was still "red era" in the repair of Earth, seeking fed and warm, so many years ago when the first reading of this book Zhongba Buddha on his critique of this "spiritual materialism" difficult to appreciate. Time flies, Riyuerusuo, things femina 2011 Jinshizuofei, non yesterday today that it is born by Cui had to type a sigh: "No I do not understand that this world is changing fast." femina 2011 Contemporary Chinese people get rich first part, while frantically enjoying growing wealth and sensual materiality satisfy brought joy, while also start looking empty lonely mountain valley, the liberation of the soul and spirit of concern beyond, causing rampant, all kinds of "science of spirituality" surging. So, I began to "spiritual materialism" if the Tao.
Recently, a busy, just read the last few years to buy on the shelf and never peruse the books, go to the American scholar Hugh B. Mr. Urban's book "Tantra: religious studies sexual, secrecy, politics and power" (Tantra: Sex, Secrecy, Politics and Power in the Study of Religion, Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003), that feel immense interest, such as the case aficionados, repeated coaching, femina 2011 I was enlightened. Although Mr. Urban Tantra book disclosure is associated with the United States itself, the popular American special moment femina 2011 in history, culture and political background in, originally depicted an inexplicable how the Tantric tradition swept the United States, becoming the exotic An oriental background and process femina 2011 for Westerners can provide the sexiest, most attractive commodity is widely consumed, be it our understanding of how to treat people, past and present, to accept India (Tibet) Tantra, how to face and deal with spiritual and material relationship also enlightening. People ever think "Overtaking", but everything other people's footsteps, the "spiritual materialism" has become a popular social thought or cultural discourse on this point, we are lagging behind others for decades. Fortunately or unfortunately, you and me an idea.
Speaking of Indian Tantra, we inevitably feel strange. However, if filed once popular in the Mongolian Yuan dynasty palace femina 2011 "secret joy Act", you probably femina 2011 are familiar with. Legend properly Huan Yuan emperor Timur reign, there is a traitor Hama Yin Jian West (India), Zephaniah (Tibetan) monks, to the Mongol emperor pass "secret joy meditation", femina 2011 or say "spiritual development law." This method is secret, however almighty, repair person can get great joy. So that the emperor and his subjects as close to the royal children together, Degui for Dayuan MND guidance Lama of Tibet, the initiates "secret Dharma" was a total joy. Ouchi palace, naked men and women home, a total of monarch, but also with high Julia for the eyes and ears, Mingfu spying honored lords, the marketplace of Li Shu-chen with, choosing femina 2011 the good thing Wyatt men who palace in the media, and fellow monarch secret joy France a few days. Yuan emperor to repair this secret law, specializing in both the built-Mu Qing Court, even extend hundreds, one thousand households, women take wide false, day and night, regardless, Pepsi do not ask, only "joy" is read. As a result, great joy party comes to an end soon and the Mongolian Yuan Empire together, Yuan emperor flee Shuomo became lost his country. Alas, the world conqueror left promise big country because femina 2011 of this "secret joy Act" femina 2011 died unexpectedly less than a hundred years.
As long as the Yuan understand history, you must know this story. If you have not read "Yuan Shi", you may have read the Ming southern wit Flirting written erotic novel "evil monks and nuns in the sea", in which the Buddhist monk and the West in the Yuan Dynasty palace Fanseng preach "secret joy Act" has impressive description. It is incredible that so far even the world's top scholars, there is no way to make it clear that spread from India and Tibet monks in Mongolia court "secret femina 2011 joy Law" in the end is what Siemens secret law? But these things were originally Novelists, even people not just to entertain talk of gossip, but also the formation of people in India (Tibet) esoteric basic understanding. Han Han cultural tradition or imagination, all India, Tibet monks Tantra basically femina 2011 pass and this "secret joy Act" equate, is synonymous femina 2011 with play and kinky bedroom art. Flirting on the "secret joy Act" understanding femina 2011 probably no more than "Yuan Shi" or "Gengshen femina 2011 Unofficial History" in a few words did not elaborate, but he misappropriated Han porn classic "Motome by" in "pick up in the" evil monks and nuns in the sea "in Tim pumping nine potential "preaching to the West Fanseng" secret joy Act "depicted femina 2011 life; Flirting on the" Motome been "misappropriated, promoted a strong Chinese cultural tradition femina 2011 concerning India, femina 2011 Tibetan Buddhism's teaching formation femina 2011 of discourse, the core content is: India Tibetan Buddhism teaches that men and women alike, that room occult. So, in order to attend Tantra as the main feature of Tibetan Buddhism who Jibei derogatory called "Lamaism." So far the six years since the Yuan Dynasty, the Tibetan Tantric tradition in the Central femina 2011 Plains region has never been interrupted, faith, self-cultivation method femina 2011 of Tibetan Buddhism Han India on behalf of many people, but Han basic views on this secret law is never changed.
Interestingly, although the western contact with India began teaching Tibetan Buddhism in the eighteenth century, 400 years later than we, but Westerners basic views on India (Tibet) Tantra but surprisingly consistent with our view. Initial discovery of the West Indian Tantra Orientalist and missionaries had called "the most horrible Indian consciousness, the most depraved things, leading to decline in all Hindu polytheism femina 2011 and obscene femina 2011 witchcraft in the most extreme example. It is be so disgusting, that it can not get it into people's ears, but can not let it be exposed femina 2011 to public faith in Christ being. It is the source for India's most ignorant, most stupid caste family magic. " However, this has been the case for Westerners spurned Indian Tantra, Americans today has become a favorite for today's Uncle Sam who, India Tantra (Tantra) femina 2011 is a "divine nature" (sacred sexuality), is " spiritual sex "(spiritual femina 2011 sex), is a kind of" Sex Yoga "(yoga of sex), or" sex magic "(sex magic). After their conversion in upgrade of Tantra become femina 2011 a "big joy of worship" (a cult of ecstasy), is a sort of cosmic Shakti illusion (a version of cosmic sexuality) focus is a urgent need of physical, sexual and the glorification of material existence (a much needed celebration of the body, sexuality, and material existence). Whether it is the pursuit of the spirit of joy or substance (ecstasy), are all obsessed with Tantra. femina 2011
Whether it is cast aside, or praise, the Western mind is inseparable from a Tantric "sex" word of condemnation for the esoteric femina 2011 and enthusiasm are actually attached to its body as a "sex magic" label. And this is what he labels clearly cultural phenomenon who moved out of its original social, cultural environment, from the interpreter's own social and cultural femina 2011 background of its reconstruction, and to make value judgments and the formation of cross-cultural misunderstanding. Nature of the esoteric, but it is also a classic example of Orientalism, Said formula we borrow postcolonial, postmodern femina 2011 cultural criticism theory, can be on esoteric interpreter who exudes obvious Orientalism or cultural imperialism habits femina 2011 , as ruthless expose and sharp criticism, put all the responsibility onto the West demon's femina 2011 body. However, femina 2011 the East, the West appeared simultaneously erotic esoteric discourse of this phenomenon makes this misreading more complex femina 2011 analysis and critique. Deconstruction only Westerners esoteric style Orientalism made statements is not enough, nor is it a correct understanding of esoteric prelude. Lured break, stand and not be in them.
Tantra is undoubtedly its misreading of a complex, diverse as relevant femina 2011 changes femina 2011 in religious form itself has many contentious special amending the law. Tantra is not just a means of Tantric Buddhism amending the law, but rather about the seventh century began in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism a traditional co-occurrence of very special, radical, counterintuitive, even dangerous religious attendance forms and systems. femina 2011 Because of its very large and complex systems
