Product Description

Synopsis

Many people hold misconceptions about tantra. Lama Yeshe's lucid and precise explanation, resulting from years of study and his personal practice, dispels all of these. Demystifying this ancient tradition, he relates it to modern life and shows how tantric practice, correctly done, can transform dissatisfaction and clinging into blissful, compassionate wisdom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Philosophy of Tantra, 31 Aug 2009
By 
Ole Martin Olaussen (Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire (Paperback)
'Before you enter the path of Tantra, know this!' "Introduction to Tantra: The transformation of desire", explains the philosophy of Tantra, in the Buddhist way - simply and straight forward, but with a keen sense of intellect. The book shares a common view among mystics, that certain paths towards divine realization, the tantric path included, are potentially catastrophic. Therefore, it is necessary to study it's subject and follow it's practice under the guidance of a qualified teacher. As a result, the book never goes into much detail to explain the different practices. It remains an introduction. For this reason only I subtract a star! All paths are potentially catastrophic. Life itself is potentially catastrophic. Potentially triumphant too. Explain to someone the atomic bomb and the next day she comes up with the cure for cancer. Share the knowledge and let the chips fall where they may... Nevertheless, I enjoyed the the book immensely and I can easily forgive that our teachers sometimes forget what a teacher is not.

5.0 out of 5 stars New to tantra? - get this book, 14 April 2009
By 
This review is from: Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire (Paperback)
This is a fantastic introduction to the science and phillosophy of tantra. I can't over state how clearly and generally well written this book is. It covers the nature of human desire describes how it can be transformed into awakening, instead of trapping us in a cycle of thirsting for more and more without any real satisfaction. I particularly appreciated the section on deity yoga. Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to Tantra available., 6 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Tantra: A Vision of Totality (A wisdom basic book. orange series) (Paperback)
When I read this book I was taken aback: it was so beautifully written and so clear in its explaination, that I found myself staring at the picture of Lama Yeshe on the back cover, thanking him for this wonderful gift. It is very rare, in my experience, to find a book which combines such authoritative lucidity, based very much on personal experience, with heart-warming humility. Unlike many books which focus merely on the techniques of "surface" Tantra, this book explores its very essence.

Thank you Lama Yeshe for your beautiful book.
