Discovering Buddhism, Module 13
Introduction to Tantra

with Ven. Tenzin Namjong

Tuesdays, 7:00pm – 9:00pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
August 15 – September 19, 2023
(4 teaching sessions and 2 practice sessions)

We are using the Zoom video conferencing system for this course.  Please register below to receive your online access information.

In this module we will learn the definition of tantra, how tantra works and why it is a powerful form of practice. We will get a broad overview of the four classes of tantra and learn how to practice simple Kriya tantric methods. In addition, we will find out how to integrate the practices of tantra with lam-rim meditation for optimal results.

While having completed the previous modules in the Discovering Buddhism series is not a prerequisite to attending this one, it is helpful.  Students should have at least a basic understanding of the lamrim teachings in order to get the most out of this module.

Discovering Buddhism: Awakening the limitless potential of your mind, achieving all peace and happiness

Ven. Tenzin Namjong
Born and raised in Hawaii, Venerable Tenzin Namjong studied philosophy at Princeton. His plan was to do a Ph.D. in philosophy, but he became disillusioned with academic philosophy because “it seemed to have lost the big picture, meaning how we should live our lives.”  In Buddhism, he found  a rich philosophical tradition that was still very much connected to how we ought to live.

Venerable Namjong studied and trained in Zen and Theravada traditions before embracing the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, due mainly to the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. He is currently studying in the Geshe study program at Sera Je Monastery in Bylakuppe, India.

Venerable Namjong is a registered teacher of the FPMT and teaches in FPMT Centers all over the world.



Our ability to continue offering these teachings is dependent on the generosity of donors.  We appreciate any donation and support for this class.  Thank you!
