Terme ou expression en anglais : female consorts

You may think I'm trying to be cheeky or provocative with the statement "Enlightenment is in the vagina", but this is one of the authenticated sayings of the
Buddha. The actual phrase in Sanskrit is Buddhatvam yosityonisamasritam.

This leaves us with the problem of how to understand or interpret this saying.

It seems to turn our usual understanding of enlightenment on its head. This same view is expressed in various sacred tantric texts. There appears to be much hidden sexual activity involving *female consorts* in some Tibetan Buddhist sects.

s'agit-il de 'consorts/partenaires spirituelles' ? de "consoeurs' ?
plus loin, cela revient :

My understanding of the first saying is that it refers to female sexual energy which is required for a male monk to become androgynic, meaning that male and female energies become balanced in an individual. This may be achieved by dual cultivation as with tantra or having a *female consort*, or by single cultivation as with energy meditation.

et encore :
This description is interesting as not only the mythical Eve was created in this way from the androgenous Adam and together they populated the world, but also in Hindu mythology Shiva produced his *consort* in the same way and they then copulated to produce the world.

conjointe / moitié féminine

Explication :
J'irais plus avec conjointe que femme, pour éviter la notion de mariage.

On parle aussi de moitié féminine (Shiva était en fait "mi-homme", "mi-femme").
