Introduction to Tantra: with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Thekchen

Buddha’s Tantric teachings are Buddha’s highest and most profound teachings. They are known as ‘the quick path to enlightenment.’ But what is Tantra? What distinguishes Tantric practice? And how will this practice improve our own life as well as empower our spiritual training?

In this half-day course, through talks and guided meditations, Gen Thekchen will open up for us the essential points of this immensely joyful, insightful, and creative approach to life. He will also show us how we can begin to apply this wisdom to our own life, right here and now.

Everybody is welcome to join us for this half-day course, which will include guided meditations and practical teachings. This course will be followed by a 5-day retreat, Training in the Highest Yoga Tantra Practice of Heruka & Vajrayogini.
