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!

This course will be taught by Resident Teacher Gen  Kelsang Thekchen, who is a Kadampa Buddhist monk & senior Teacher in the New Kadampa Tradition. He has been a Teacher under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for more than 25 years. Gen Thekchen has taught widely in Canada and in the UK, and is now the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre Ottawa. He is well known for his ability to present Buddha's teachings in a practical, profound and often humorous way, making them very accessible and easy to practise in everyday life.
