Can anyone tell me if you can learn Tantra without a Guru?

As Tantra often involves vows and samaya related to secret practice, this sub-forum has been created where Vajrayana practitioners can pose questions, and any of our members or staff can reply confidentially by PM.

Can anyone tell me if you can learn Tantra without a Guru?

Post by Yamantaka »

I am a Zen Buddhist but have recently got interested in Tantra. I am sure that I can get a partner to help but I only have books on the subject. Since I live in Alabama I am not aware of any Gurus in the area for this particular discipline. We have a Zendo here, but of course I don't want to ask my Roshi (I am sure he would find my interest undesirable) Can I do this without an instructor?
