Please note: Participating in this course does NOT mean that you are taking up the Vajrayana Track. This course is to provide insight and information about different aspects of the Vajrayana path so that you can decide if at some point you do wish to begin practicing Vajrayana. But taking the course itself does not mean you have committed to that path.

Over the past year, have you felt overwhelmed by the craziness of this world? Do you wake up wondering what you can do to help yourself and others shift the balance from madness to sanity? From suffering and violence to joy and love? From isolation and fear to connectedness and authentic presence? From entrapment in old emotional and conceptual patterns to the freedom of spacious, loving openness?

Thousands of years ago, the Buddha predicted that the teachings of the Vajrayana would become a key element on the path to restore sanity and clarity to the world and to the minds and hearts of beings.

Join Lama Liz for a six-week course on entering the Vajrayana. During this course, we will take a journey into the sacred world (the view, meditation and conduct) of Vajrayana Buddhism. Along the way, we will explore such topics as the history and development of the Vajrayana in Tibet; the power of pure vision; the liberative potential of emotional energy; and how the transformative technologies of tantric practices work to purify, melt, and dissolve our karmic patterns of reactivity and suffering. We will also explore how these expedient methods remain nestled within and enhanced by the practices of compassion and natural awareness found within all stages of Buddhist practice.

This course is open to all. No previous experience with Vajrayana philosophy or practice is necessary although some experience with Buddhist practice, doctrine and ideas is helpful.
