Introduction to Tantra – Half Day
Half Day Course with Adrienne Weiss.
Buddha’s highest and most profound teachings are called Tantra, also known as ‘the quick path to enlightenment.’ But what is Tantra? What distinguishes Tantric practice from Buddha’s other teachings? And how can we use Tantra practice to improve our life as well empower our spiritual training?
In this half-day course, through talks and guided meditations, Adrienne will share the essential points of this immensely joyful, insightful, and creative approach to life, and will introduce methods to help us apply this wisdom to our own life, right here and now. Through understanding how our mind shapes our experience of ourself and our world, we can learn to use the power of our imagination, combined with wisdom, to fulfill our highest potential.
This course is a wonderful introduction to those interested in exploring Tantra by attending the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments offered at this year’s New Kadampa Tradition International Summer Festival in England (kadampafestivals.org/summer).
Everybody welcome!
