The Tantric Vision for World Peace
The Tantric Vision for World Peace
Tantra is a special inner science that teaches how we can change our mind, ourself and our life. Although the idea of Tantra is very popular these days, many people misunderstand its real meaning and so it is often misused. In reality, Tantra is a very special practice that harnesses the power of our imagination and the power of Buddha’s blessings to quickly lead us to a state of permanent peace and happiness. The profound Tantric practices show us how to overcome the limiting views of ourselves, others, and the world around us that give rise to fear, anxiety, and other painful thoughts. Tantra helps us create positive energy and wisdom through special meditations that lead us quickly to enlightenment. This series is open to everyone and in particular provides a great opportunity to prepare those who wish to receive Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments. March 5: What is Tantra? March 12: Liberating the Imagination March 19: Our Blissful Potential March 26: Channels, Chakras & Mantras **REGISTRATION** Standard: $12 \| Financial Hardship: $6 \| Free for [Members](https://meditation-dc.org/membership/) [Pre-Register Here](https://meditation-dc.org/thursday-evenings/) Each class is available by drop in.
