Tantra is a complex subject which, broadly speaking, covers many of the spiritual traditions that have been associated with both Hinduism and Buddhism for over a thousand years. Essentially, Tantra can be boiled down to a body of thought that concerns certain rituals, conceptions, and religious devotion. It takes many forms, including things like temple architecture and philosophy. Tantra is a term that can be roughly translated as 'weave'. As such, it can be seen as a system of connecting things so that they make more sense as a whole.
