Synopsis:
The preliminary practices of tantra are not a hurdle to be overcome in order to get somewhere else; they are an extraordinarily rich collection of practices which have much to offer us a means of cultivating and maturing the practitioner's psychological ground. They can enable experiences to unfold, and they can clear the way when there seem to be problems or hindrances practitioners are struggling with.
In Preparing for Tantra Preece draws on his experience as a Buddhist practitioner, meditation teacher and psychotherapist to explain how to make the preliminary practices psychologically meaningful and spiritually transformative. He examines each of the practices with an eye to revelaing how they may be used to heal and transform psychological trauma, and offers practical suggestions for integrating them into daily life - as well as ensuring that practitioners are prepared psychologically, emotionally, and energetically to start out safely on the tantric path.
"Western students of Buddhism - particularly those attempting to master the meditative techniques of highest yoga tantra - face the daunting challenge of weaving these profound transformative practices into the fabric of their busy daily lives. In Preparing for Tantra, Rob Preece draws on his many years of experience as both a meditator and psychotherapist to demonstrate most eloquently how one's daily life and work, far from being a hindrance to one's spiritual practices, can serve as its ongoing foundation, fully integrated with the ngondro, or traditional tantric preliminaries. Inspiring and highly recommended." Joanthan Landaw.
"An accesible guidebook for engaging in ngondro, the preliminary practices that are done before engaging in a long tantric retreat. These practices are also powerful tools for purifying negativities and alleviating guilt, healing difficult experiences, and enriching our minds with goodness so that we will be able to progess in our Dharma practice and gain realizations on the path. As a Dharma practitioner and a psychotherapist with many years of experience in both fields, Rob addresses many of the psychological issues that arise for Westerners practicing the Dharma and explains how to use the preliminary practices to clear and heal these. It is a great manual to have at your side while doing the preliminary practices." Thubten Chodron. |
