SUBJECT:  Dugpas and Gelukpas fighting:  Are there really two sides?

Tony, thank you for the comment from the Mahatma Letters about the
"Dugpas and Gelukpas fighting".  But I would like to ask the assembled
Theos-talk audience these questions:

(1)  Which group (Dugpas or Gelukpas) advocate meditation on (as
Nicholas Weeks so aptly phrases it) "a visualized goddess ie an
elemental or deva that is sexually arousing"?

(2) Which group (Dugpas or Gelukpas) advocates "tantric sex" with an
actual female consort to supposedly achieve "enlightenment" in one
lifetime?

(3)  If both Dugpas and Gelukpas not only advocate but indeed practice
such so-called "spiritual" techniques, I would like to know what REALLY
distinguishes these two groups??
