I think the source of my infos for that particular affirmation is Alan Watts and a post from a Japanese buddhist monk. I really don&#x27;t know about Tibetan monks, and A.W. is entertaining but far from trustworthy. So you should check this yourself if you want the truth. Maybe it really does apply only to western mystery traditions and <i>some</i> Japanese buddhists, and some pople over-generalized this, I don&#x27;t know for sure.
