The power of correct imagination
Tantra is a special inner science taught by Buddha that shows how to transform our mind, our life, and our experience of the world. These rare and precious teachings reveal how to overcome limiting views of ourselves and awaken our extraordinary potential for freedom, joy, and wisdom. There will be an introduction to Tantric meditation methods that help us step beyond the ordinary and relate to life in a lighter, more meaningful way — transforming our daily experience into a blissful spiritual path.
‘Tantra, also known as ‘Secret Mantra’ or ‘Vajrayana’, is a special method to purify our world, our self, our enjoyments and our activities, and if we put this method into practice we shall very quickly attain enlightenment’ – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Modern Buddhism
This course is the perfect opportunity to explore the practice of Tantra before we have the opportunity to take Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments at our NKT International Summer Festival this August, more info here: https://kadampafestivals.org/summer
