| Abstract | Tantric practices are often considered a "degenerate" development of Buddhism: there is a widespread notion that in tantric ritual the deeply altruistic motivation and penetrative insight of Great Vehicle Buddhism were discarded in favor of expression of baser instincts. As there notions take no account of the presence of more prevalent, high traditions of tantra that are preserved in Tibetan and Japanese Buddhism, they create great stumbling block to meaningful dialogue between tantric Buddhists and Christians. Therefore, in this paper I present the basic principles of tantra as these are described in one of the high Tibetan traditions, the Ge-luk-ba order. My emphases will be on hoe the tantric path is an enhanced embodiment of the teachings on compassion and wisdom basic to Great Vehicle Buddhism. |
