THE CELIBACY QUESTION
 
A series of on going interviews on the question of celibacy and other related issues, practices in the western and eastern spiritual traditions. The  path of the the monastic, (purification and renunciation) vis a vis the path of the house holder, lay person teacher, Yoga, asceticism and the path of Tantra.

The following question was submitted by Stuart Sovatsky, PHD  

Vedanta, Taoism, Buddhism, Judeo-Christian Gnosticism, Mystical Sufism, all laud transcendence of duality and desire, verified by transcendence of sexual activity, from the Buddha to the Dalai Lama and millions of others in India over the millennia. Has modern non-dualism created something new where sex and desire are not transcended? And is this a higher state than what Buddha and founder of Advaita Vedanta, Adi Shankara, taught to monks and lay people and lived personally?

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”   Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha
