Vajra Energy: Creative Symbols of Tantric Buddhism

By Maitrisiddhi on Wed, 1 Nov, 2023 - 14:33

Free up your energies! Enter a world of colour and magic!  Our essential original nature is vajra -  pure -  the nature of freedom.  But how can we access this in direct experience?  This is what Tantric Buddhism is all about – touching direct experience of what we most deeply are, through symbol and myth, ritual and mantra.   Come and explore the Five Buddha Mandala, great guru Padmasambhava, Dakinis, Cremation Grounds and more….
