Clarification about Tantra and Lama Ole
Recently, I had received a lot of information about Lama
Ole claiming he has been teaching his students about sex
as a Tantric practice. According to this information, I
made an announcement on my website about this topic in
general, explaining that many Westerners have a
misunderstanding of Tantra and its relationship to sex.
This statement was made for Western audiences on the whole
and not about Lama Ole in particular. However, as he is
also a Western Tantric teacher, and I was informed that
he also taught in this way, I included him in the statement.
In this announcement I mentioned that, as I remember, when
Lama Ole was a young man in the days of hippies he had
received teachings about the practice of male and female
deities in union. I had made the supposition that, if
Lama Ole is teaching sex as a Tantric practice, it most
likely must be connected to this time when he was first
getting exposed to Buddhist teachings from his teachers
in those young and impressionable times of his youth.
After making this announcement on my website, I received
so many clarifications from his students stating that they
had never heard Lama Ole in any teaching mentioning that
sex is important to Tantra. As a result of these letters,
I investigated further into the matter to find out whether
what I had heard was true or not. After I had inquired
thoroughly through various connections, I came to the
conclusion that the information I had received previously
was not accurate. I had discovered that he had only given
an answer to a lady in Virginia, USA explaining that he
himself could not give up the pleasures of sex. It is true
that a majority of his students have been behaving too
openly affectionate, giving the explanation that they
believe it is best not to be hypocritical. Regarding this
opinion, I feel this is a mistake in view. The idea of
sexuality not being suitable for public display is based
on civilized behaviour and is not in any way an act of
hypocrisy. In any case, it has been confirmed to me that
Lama Ole is not teaching sexual practices as a Tantric
method or tradition. Therefore, I apologize to the readers,
as the information I had received earlier was incorrect.
