Replying to @dthorson
This sounds like you guys are building a tantra? Any environment where people are interacting with each-other with meditative intent will basically turn into tantra. Surprising direction of development.

I'm curious to know
@Meaningness's take on how this (Vinay's remark, in the context of Daniel's whole thread) connects with eg the Aro Buddhism > "Self-liberation means allowing emotional energy to be as it is." http://arobuddhism.org/community/an-uncommon-perspective.html …2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -
Not sure what you are asking?, but: - Circling has always sounded creepy to me (but I know almost nothing about it) - What Vinay says seems right, if hedged for the vagueness of “meditative” and “tantra” - Self-liberation is the principle of Dzogchen, not tantra

Interesting bit about self liberation, dzog chen, and tantra. I've always seen dzog chen and Hindu tantra as pretty much identical. The practitioners seem near identical in person, but I wonder (given your statement) if that's right. My understanding is limited.

I know almost nothing about Hindu tantra, so can’t help with that!

Oh, one other thing to say. I’ve written in several places that Western Buddhism keeps reinventing aspects of tantra, because tantra is better-aligned with the Western worldview than sutra is. But the reinventions generally suck and often explode, sometimes killing people.
