Hello everyone!
So this is question isn’t about Buddhism, but it is about Tantra, so I’m going to ask it here. If the admins feel it’s inappropriate, I have no problem with them removing it.
I am interested in good English language material about Hindu Tantra. I’m interested in learning how the practices are actually done, and how they compare to the Buddhist Tantric tradition.
I am not interested in actually practicing Hinduism, to be clear. I just want to learn a bit more about the topic.
Thanks in advance!
