The Coarse Body

How the body is perceived in Tantric practices.

The Coarse Body

The body is divided into several layers in tantra, while the coarse body is the most tangible and physical. The coarse body refers to our flesh, bones, organs, and senses—everything that constitutes our physical presence in the world.

By depending upon this boat-like human form.
We can cross the great ocean of suffering.
Since such a vessel will be hard to find again,
This is no time to sleep, you fool!

Tantra embraces the body. It is a crucial tool for spiritual growth, through which our physical experiences and sensations can connect with all the deeper layers of our existence.
