The task of assigning values to things is the most difficult part that one has to perform while dealing with them in their different aspects. And it is made all the more difficult when this phase of Buddhism, namely Tāntrism, has been condemned in the most scathing language and run down with such phrases as “meaningless”, “charlatanism” and “degeneracy” by critics Oriental as well as Occidental. It is therefore difficult to keep one's mind unaffected by such contemptuous expressions and have a proper and just appreciation of the Tāntric culture.
