Buddhist Tantra - Reginald A. Ray

"Within my body are all the sacred places of the world," the Buddhist saint Saraha once said, "and the most profound pilgrimage that I can ever make is within my own body." For 15 centuries, the realized masters of the tantric path used the crucible of their own lives to develop a powerful and accelerated means to enlightenment. Today, these teachings remain alive within the usually hidden "inner courtyard" of the vajrayana vehicle of Tibetan Buddhism -- a tradition that requires the courage to engage your body, your human desires, and your most challenging life obstacles as the basic "fuel" for insight. Now, with Buddhist Tantra, Reggie Ray -- respected acharya (senior teacher) at the Shambhala Mountain Center -- introduces you to these precious teachings, and invites you to explore the path to "naked and unprecedented experience."Entering the Vajra World through the Vehicle of Your Body" The word tantra means "to weave through," a metaphor that points to the vibrant fabric of intelligent and living energies that make up the essence of every cell of your body, every fleeting thought you have, and every particle of the universe. To enter this undefiled and ever-renewing "vajra world" -- this is the promise of the tantric path. On Buddhist Tantra, through specific teachings and guided meditations designed to open your body and mind, you will begin to encounter this wondrous and indisputable realm of reality. From this embodied foundation, you will experience 12 sessions of rare teachings including:

- Tantra's fascinating map of reality and spiritual realization
- The role of sexuality and desire in tantric practice
- The Buddhist saints -- their extraordinary experiences and what we can learn from them
- A guided practice to connect with the earth as a sentient source of equanimity and calm
- Six complete guided meditations, including: prana breathing, body awareness, abdominal breathing, and more
