Dear Kaarine Alejandra,

You have kindly stated that, '' It is noteworthy that sexual abstention seems to be a result of a tranquil mind and emotional satisfaction obtained through meditation from where one of the most powerful cravings -sexual intercourse- is transcended. ''

To me, a tranquil mind and emotional satisfaction can only be obtained in a natural way. That is all human natural needs should be satisfied in a natural way. If Buddha Dhamma is the law of nature, then this duality should be solved in the first place. There should be no difference in between lay people and the monks lifestyles.

Celibacy does not mean to abstein from natural sexual acts. Celibacy means a moderate use of the sexual energy.

Respectfully,
