INTRODUCTION TO VAJRAYANA

RIMPOCHE / RWK

Vajrayana, the tantric or esoteric aspect of Buddha's teaching, is rooted in experiential understanding of the intention of the sutras; that is, inner development of compassion and wisdom. In this transcript Gelek Rimpoche gives a brief, yet comprehensive overview of the basic framework of tantra. He explores the structure of vajrayana, highlighting the stages and practices contained within various aspects of the vajrayana path, from taking initiation up to the ultimate union of the Vajradhara state.
