The Power of Imagination ~
Introduction to Tantra
Buddha’s Tantric teachings are methods that harness the imagination to produce powerful inner transformation and deep inner peace. They are known as the “quick path to enlightenment". Based on the wish to experience lasting mental freedom, and especially the altruistic wish to help others as quickly as possible, we learn how to access our natural inner bliss and wisdom so that we can purify and transform our minds as quickly as possible for our own and others’ sake.
This half-day course will include practical teachings, guided meditations and time for questions.
Everyone is welcome!
