The History of Tantric Buddhism and its Future in the West - with Lama Glenn Mullin

This Interview starts with an easy chat and Lama Glenn shares his own story, how he encountered Tibetan Buddhism and especially the practice of Tummo in the early 70s in Dharamsala.
Furthermore, he sheds light on the background of the secrecy of the tantric meditations (including the sexual union practices) over the last centuries in Tibet and why and how these practices were given by the Buddha.
From around minute 40 of this lecture Lama Glenn deeply goes into the history of Tantric Buddhism.
He tells us about the four different enlightenment streams that Buddha himself collected and how different schools developed over the centuries and also explains the differences of the various main buddhist paths of Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana.
He furthermore illuminates the challenges of learning to see what the actual Dharma (Buddhas teachings) is and what are cultural habits that have mixed with it.

Your advice to the headhunter reveals where you (and most of the tantric tradition) abandon the true dharma, Lama Glenn. Don't forget that the vajra vehicle only makes sense as an evolved branch of the mahayana... Bye bye for now.
