Tantric Path of Desire: Bringing Passion to the Spiritual Path

By Khentrul Rinpoche

Delve into the profound teachings of Tantra with a spotlight on using every facet of life, including sexuality, as a transformative force on the path.

“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.”
