@Meaningness@Failed_Buddhist Have you read Shamanism by Mircea Eliade? There's a chapter towards the end of the book that links all sorts of Tantric Buddhist practices to much older Central Asian/Siberian shamanic rituals.2 replies 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread

I haven't. Always been fascinated by Shamanism after doing salvia. Though those guys are fucking nuts (then again, so are the Tibetans).
