Workshop Description.
Buddha’s most profound revelation is that our world is a mere appearance to our mind, like a dream world. Because our world, our self, our enjoyments and our activities are the nature of our mind when our mind is impure they are impure and when our mind becomes pure through purification practice they become pure. Tantra accomplishes this complete purity. It combines the wisdom understanding our dream-like reality with creative imagination that transforms our self into a deity abiding in an enlightened world. It is often called ‘the quick path to enlightenment’.
On this course, Gen Kelsang Rabten will explain the essential meaning of tantric practice and how it brings great meaning, direction and happiness to our lives. We will learn how to transform worldly pleasures into the spiritual path so that instead of developing attachment which is the root of all problems, our enjoyment will increase our inner peace and spiritual realisations.
There will be an opportunity to receive Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments, the gateway to practicing Tantra, at this year’s NKT-IKBU Summer festival in July. This introductory course is open to everyone and highly recommended for those intending to receive these empowerments for the first time.
