China 'guru' promoting group sex

  •  
    BEIJING: Police are looking for China's leading Tantra guru, Qin Mingyuan, after they closed down three of his meditation centers for allegedly encouraging group sex and wife swapping. A woman, who organized classes at one of the centers, was detained in Guangdong, southern China.

Qin's resume says that he learnt teaching about "warm, free love" at Pune's Osho training center. His Chinese mentor, Li Yi, was accused of raping and having affairs with female disciples. 

An official said Tantra classes promote values that "go against public morals''. "If they continue to develop, they will eventually become cults," Global Times said.

Chinese government has been wary of cult movement since it crushed the Falun Gong cult violently in 2009.

Gurus like Qin have emerged amid rising demand for spiritual solace among well-off Chinese. The Global Times described the trend as "homegrown version of New Age mysticism"



The basic philosophy of Tantra is this. A human being is both feminine and masculine. This is logical because his birth was caused by both masculine and feminine energy i.e. his parents. In Hindu mythology Shiva is called "ardha nareeshwar" i.e. half women meaning the same thing. Tantra says that the union of the inner man with the inner women is the goal of human life. When this happens a great orgasm of cosmic proportion happens in that person's being. A man becomes divine or enlightened and it is a great blessing for him. A human being is searching for his inner half inside but he does not know this and instead searches for partner outside which leads to suffering and frustration. Even Osho has said the same thing in his discourses. Man's attitude towards sex is suppression and condemnation which leads to nuerosis and a diseased personality. Tantra has techniques pertaining to sex but the condition is that the practitioner should have practiced celibacy for 12 years. This would lead to two things 1) He will be liberated from sex desire because of being celibate for such a long time and can easily achieve union of inner man and inner women 2) If he is still not liberated from sex then the only way is to use the techiques pertaining to sex and then get liberated from it and then proceed to inner union. So Tantra is not sex indulgence but a way to transcend sex into higher dimensions of being. The human society has not reached a level of maturity where is can accept Tantra with respect. Even in India where Tantra originated, the practitioners were killed and their scriptures burnt. However, if practiced in the proper way and with an intention to move into higher consciousness it is a valid path. According to many enligtened masters the whole universe is made of sex energy and this energy should not be wasted outside but utilized inside to move into higher dimensions of consciousness. Society's attitide towards sex is that of an evil or monster which needs to be supressed and condemned but it secretly enjoys it. The modern human society is basically a hypocrite society and that's why it is in such a mess.
