The relationship between Buddhism and sexual orientation varies by tradition and teacher. According to some scholars, early Buddhism appears to have placed no special stigma on homosexual relations, since the subject was not mentioned. Some later traditions do feature sanction of homosexual contact. However, many scholars, including the current Dalai Lama, uphold that any form of sexual expression other than monogamous vaginal sex within a heterosexual relationship violates the Second Precept of Buddhism.

Famous quotes containing the words buddhism and/or orientation:
“A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
