Introducing Tantra

Tantra is the most rare and precious of Buddha’s teachings.

Tantric practice can be understood as “Bringing the Result into the Path”. Here “Result” is the state of exalted Buddhahood, and the “Path” is your current meditation and subsequent practice of the Tantric meditations and visualisations in this very life. These visualisations harness the imagination to produce a powerful inner transformation and deep inner peace.

In meditation, you will purify ordinary death and ordinary intermediate state, to overcome ordinary rebirth in Samsara and to generate yourself as a pure Tantric deity such as Tara, Medicine Buddha, Heruka or Vajrayogini. With familiarity, your ordinary appearances and ordinary conceptual minds are overcome, and the pure appearance, pure conceptual mind and pure environment and enjoyments of the Tantric deity become reality for you.

Tantric practice especially develops your wisdom and compassion until it produces a powerful bliss that purifies your mind and swiftly leads to enlightenment. Through these special meditations you can experience profound inner change quickly.

Gen Tilopa will explain the methods and visualisations, and guide meditations that will prepare you to understand what it is to receive a Tantric empowerment , and to engage in the practices and meditations of Tantra.
