The real question is if there is anything to suggest that practicing tantric methods is really a faster way to liberation than something like vipassana

I think it probably is faster within a living tradition and in its native context. The Tibetans really do turn peasants into lamas fairly quickly. That said, it appears that vipassana retreats and the like are achieving results with westerners off the street, and doing so reliably and relatively safely.


But in the meantime you are promoting something that you can't say necessarily works to this end. Do you agree?

I've read horror stories of Goeka retreats.

There are problems, sure. But I have seen decent results too, and at least it really is Buddhism.
