Introduction to Tantra
- The Power of Imagination -
with Gen Kelsang Chodor
Buddha’s Tantric teachings harness the power of meditation and imagination, guided by wisdom, to bring about profound inner transformation. Often described as a “quick path to enlightenment,” these practices dissolve our ordinary sense of a limited self and invite us to identify with our pure potential—the potential to embody the body, speech, and mind of an enlightened Tantric deity. By engaging our imagination in this skilful way, we begin to experience our spiritual potential not as a distant ideal, but as a living experience in the present moment.
What You Will Learn from This Course
A deeper appreciation of Buddha’s Tantric path and its purpose
Guided meditations that gently loosen the grasping at an ordinary, limited sense of self
An experiential introduction to identifying with your enlightened potential of body, speech, and mind
This course is based upon the book, Modern Buddhism (Tantra), by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
