The purpose of the teaching is not to improve outer conditions. Although, I would say that living according to the Tantric view would actually enable you to get much more out of life than you would have done otherwise. I would say that your life would be improved in many ways. This may sound contradictory, but I think that there’s a significant point here: you cannot judge the teachings according to the criterion of whether your life has ‘improved’. You can only judge the teachings against your own evolution of awareness and kindness. If your outer circumstances improve then that’s wonderful, but it’s not a sign of your practice. The concept that spiritual practice, or success in spiritual practice, leads to a life in which things increasingly work out to your advantage, is highly spurious.p200, Wearing the Body of Visions, Ngakpa Chögyam, Aro Books, 1995, ISBN 1-898185-03-4
