Half-Day Course - Introduction to Tantra (Sat 26 June)
Event Information
About this event
“In his Sutra teachings Buddha gives us great encouragement to accomplish the ultimate goal of human life. This goal will be accomplished quickly through the practice of Tantra. 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.”
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche: Modern Buddhism
By engaging in these practices we are able to transform our normal activities and pleasures into a blissful and dynamic spiritual path. These secret teachings of Tantra are the rarest and most precious of all Buddha’s teachings.
In this half-day course Gen Kelsang Gakyi will give an introduction to those new to these teachings and encouragement to those already practicing them. This course is particularly suitable for those wishing to receive the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments at this year’s NKT Summer Festival.
This course is suitable for everyone, but is particularly helpful for those interested in learning more about Buddhist meditation and practice.
