As there are many spiritual traditions, we can find many different

My understanding is that the above statement about tantric meditation
being the oldest technique is not true, altho of course it depends on which
tantric meditation you're talking about. ln the buddhist and so called hindu
traditions that originated in lndia, tantric practices are believed to have
evolved later on --most are dated after 500 AD, as opposed to non-tantric
practices which were known to have been taught by the Buddha 1000yrs earlier.
(Of course non-tantric practices are believed to have existed centuries
before the Buddha.) jerry
