SECRET OF THE VAJRA WORLD: The Tantric Buddhism of Tibet

by Reginald Ray

Now in paperback, Secret of the Vajra World is a comprehensive introduction to the Tantric practices and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Ray demonstrates how the practice of Tantra fosters an appreciation for ordinary life--the world of sensory experience, of happiness and sorrow--as the place where ultimate revelation occurs. He discusses the visualizations, liturgies, and inner yogas; the role of the tantric mentor; the preliminary practices that prepare the student for initiation; the practice of solitary retreat.
