I find funny the Western mystification usually done by middle aged and "good vibes" people about Buddhism, and especially about Tantrism in general.

It is a very "colorful" Buddhism, where there is no danger at all, reigning only a kind of illusory "good vibes", which historically is not so. The Tantric practices that gave rise to the various lineages of Tibetan Buddhism were as transgressive as the Aghor practices recorded in India centuries ago — which is, meat-eating, bathing in crematory ashes, etc. — and even in the "non-Tantric" Buddhism, you will find a lot that would make the average Western left-handed practitioner's hair stand on end.

Buddhism is not and never has been a place where the so-called "safe space" reigns, giving us a sense of illusory peace and security. Buddhism transcends moral illusions and goes beyond modern false security.
