Trying to resist getting sucked into a big research project on tantra in Theravada. Fascinating, but I should leave it to Theravadins.
@Meaningness that sounds fascinating. A local Theravadin monk here told me that there was absolutely no such thing!

@MDorje So lots of Theravadins think there isn’t any. But it’s intact in Cambodia, and significant in Thailand if maybe fragmented. -
@Meaningness this monk is from a Burmese tradition & just based on geography I was skeptical of his claim. - 1 more reply

@MDorje Yes, part of the early 20th century reform of Theravada was getting rid of tantra because Westerners thought it was bad.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
