In the West, Tantra has seemed very tempting to the emotionally and intellectually wild. This has been especially true among those who have inferred indulgence in full-blown hedonism to be the path. However, although there is some connection with hedonism, with its characteristic quality of not holding back, this view is seriously lopsided. Tantra is not concerned with seeking extremes.It avoids utilising experience of any kind as a means of concretely defining the nature of reality.
