Dear all

Is there anyone there that can say to me what in the buddhist world is a action mudra?
How sex can be applied in meditation? Isn't a too much thing?
How this kind of attachment can be used in the bodhisattva path?

I cannot find any Dharma deep enough to justify this kind of pratice... can anyone help me please?

Thanks!

From my limited point of view, Sex can be a type of mediation.  There is nothing wrong with sex from the side of sex itself, instead our ideas, attachments, culture up-bringing turn sex from something natural into something with so much bad press attached to it. 

If one sees sex as only bad, then one stills has an attachment to sex, mainly an attachment to the idea that it is something to be avoided.  Sex is natural. Like drinking water and sleeping.  We do not hold negative views against sleeping, why should we hold negative views against sex?

Mediating on sex can drop our attachment to the notion that sex is bad, or that sex is great.  Engaging in sex with awareness, with someone you really connect with, can be one of the most profound physical and spiritual experiences you can ever have.   If one holds a view for or against anything then one still is harboring some attachment to that thing.

The world is not good or bad. The world just is.  Our practice should allow us to slowly begin to see this...

Once again this is from my limited and deluded view
