Path of Desire Book Launch with Khentrul Rinpoche – Working with Emotions and Sexuality on the Tantric Path

Path of Desire Book Launch with Khentrul Rinpoche – Working with Emotions and Sexuality on the Tantric Path
This event is FREE and will be available In-Person and online by registration only.

We will celebrate the release of Khentrul Rinpoche’s new book the Path of Desire, with a teaching on how to use all aspects of life including sexuality on the path. This book launch discussion will focus on how to use all of our emotions, not just sex to practice. Khentrul Rinpoche will give a blessing of the 6 Buddha Families to everyone present to help students so they don’t have to abandon the 6 kleshas. Instead the blessing will help them achieve success on taking the Kleshas on the Tantra path. This event is available with registration only. Rinpoche will explain in person why he chose to write and release a book of this nature at this time. Some people may find it scandalous while others may find it a welcome addition to tantric teachings.

“Most followers of the Tibetan tantric Buddhist teachings are merely wearing an outer costume of tantra.”
“Serious consideration of the situation of tantra is urgent before its essence is lost altogether. The time has come for going beyond mere scholarly explanations and superficial chanting of liturgies to actually restoring the practice tradition that has been corrupted and rejected in recent centuries. To do that, the full scope of tantra’s real meaning must be re-introduced.”
-Shar Khentrul Rinpoché

Being imprisoned in a dark pit is not comparable
To young lovers kept apart by their righteous parents;
Being locked in stocks is not comparable,
To strict religious laws that make sweet love a crime.
However perfect the power of a renunciate attitude,
As water still flows in a river that is blocked by a dam,
When an unwanted religious tax is levied on sex,
It is like constantly pushing a boulder up a hill.
(Gendun Chöpel, “Treatise on Desire”)

Though in sex the blissful union of the masculine and feminine principles is obvious, it actually pervades all existence; it represents the profound truth of non-dual reality and points us in its direction. For those who aspire to be genuine tantrikas, this book and teaching presents a way of liberation through joyfully embracing ordinary life. For those of us who seek only to experience ordinary life at its best, that goal can also be attained.

Speaker

  • Khentrul Rinpoche
    Khentrul Rinpoche
    Mestre Kalachakra Rimê

    Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö é o fundador e diretor espiritual da Dzokden. O Rinpoche é autor de vários livros como: Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life (em tradução para o português) e The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path (em tradução para o português). Khentrul Rinpoche passou os primeiros 20 anos de sua vida pastoreando iaques e cantando mantras nos platôs tibetanos. Inspirado pelos bodhisatvas, ele deixou sua família para estudar em uma variedade de monastérios sob a orientação de mais de vinte e cinco mestres em todas as tradições do Budismo Tibetano. Devido à sua abordagem não-sectária, ele recebeu o título de Mestre Rimê (não-sectário) e foi identificado como a reencarnação do famoso Mestre de Kalachakra Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. Embora seja central em seus ensinamentos o reconhecimento de que há grande valor na diversidade de todas as tradições espirituais encontradas nesse mundo, ele foca a tradição Jonang-Shambhala. Os ensinamentos de Kalachakra (“Roda do Tempo”) contêm métodos profundos para harmonizar nosso ambiente externo com o mundo interno de nosso corpo e mente, em última instância fazendo surgir a Era de Ouro de paz e harmonia (dzokden).
