Discovering Buddhism: Introduction to Tantra

with Jon Landaw

Tuesdays, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
November 26 – December 17, 2013


We are delighted that Jon Landaw, editor of the book "Introduction to Tantra", will be teaching this module on tantra! Tantra (or Vajrayana) is regarded as the most advanced Buddhist vehicle to enlightenment. In this module learn what makes it such a powerful form of practice. Get a broad overview of the four classes of tantra and be introduced to a simple meditation patterned on basic tantric methods. In addition, find out how to integrate the practices of tantra with lam-rim meditation for optimal results.

Recommended books:
  • "Introduction to Tantra" by Lama Thubten Yeshe.
  • "Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand" by Pabongka Rinpoche, pages  707–708.

Pre-requisite: Although it would be excellent if students enrolling in this course have taken refuge in the Three Jewels, anyone with sincere interest in benefiting both themselves and others is welcome to attend.
