Tantra Sansakrit "weave" denoting continuity, tantricism or tantrism is any of several esoteric traditions rooted in the religions of India. It exists in Hindu, Bönpo, Buddhist, and Jain forms. Tantra in its various forms has existed in South Asia, Burma, China, Japan, Mongolia Tibet, Korea, Cambodia, Indonesia and. Professor of Religious Studies, David Gordon White - whilst cautioning against attempting a rigorous definition of tantra - offers the following working definition:
Everything that we need in order to be complete is within us right at this very moment. It is simply a matter of being able to recognize it. This is the tantric approach. ...each one of us is a union of all universal energy.
Tantra is that Asian body of beliefs and practices which, working from the principle that the universe we experience is nothing other than the concrete manifestation of the divine energy of the Godhead that creates and maintains that universe, seeks to ritually appropriate and channel that energy, within the human microcosm, in creative and emancipatory ways.
