Line 28: There is a double message here between what Buddha said, that desire must be created, and what some monks propose to their followers, that desire must be cut. Truth is Buddhism entails two aspects: the ideas monks taught to civilize peasantry, on the one hand, and the esoteric teachings of tantra (aimed at leaders) for self-realization, on the other, where—just as Buddha said—desire must be generated. ~~Dr.~~ [[Oscar R. Gómez]] holds that teachings imparted privately by ~~H.H.~~the [[14th Dalai Lama]] are meant for leaders to be able to choose a specific desire consciously by creating it previously from the inside. People have a tendency to live based on desires coming from the outside, and such desires are the ones making choices for them. As an alternative, tantric Tibetan Buddhism allows to choose a desire consciously; to create desire rather than being created by it.<ref>{{cite book\|last=Gómez\|first=Oscar R.\|title=Manual of Tantra Vol III ...from tantra to the technology of desire\|year=2009\|publisher=''Editorial Menteclara''\|isbn=978-987-24510-2-8\|page=\|edition=}} Read at: [https://www.academia.edu/19309143/Manual_de_Tantra_-_...desde_el_tantra_a_la_Tecnolog%C3%ADa_del_deseo_ Academia.edu]</ref> Within Christianity, desire is seen as something that can either lead a person towards God and destiny or away from him. Desire is not considered to be a bad thing in and of itself; rather, it is a powerful force within the human that, once submitted to the Lordship of Christ, can become a tool for good, for advancement, and for abundant living.
