In this eye-opening and provocative yet humorous talk, John explores the views of celibacy and abstinence in the Tibetan tradition. He also shares insights into the intimacy and channeling of sexual energy that he observed, specifically in the rigorous and austere environment of Tibetan monasteries. Listen as he explains how the norms in these environments are very different than those we experience in the West.
