Introduction to Buddhist Yoga: The Subtle Body and the Vajra Rosary Tantra
July 22 - July 24, 2022
Dr. David Komodo Kittay
Robert A.F. Thurman
Michele Loew
Buddhist Yoga is the science and practice of learning and mastering the energy-winds of the subtle body and the use of mantra to create the conditions for enlightenment. Most of us will not undertake the advanced practices described in the Vajra Rosary Tantra in this life, but knowing a little about this path may be useful in deciding where to go in one's spiritual practice. We'll take an intensive look at this system over three days and combine this with some introductory yogas and meditation. Though practice of this tantric advanced system must always be under the supervision of an authentic guru, we will begin to learn about this system of yoga, one of the treasures of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism.David Kittay and Robert Thurman will provide expert instruction in the philosophical and psychological underpinnings of Buddhist yoga, while advanced yogini Michele Loew will offer practical instruction and daily yoga. This course is designed for those wanting a comprehensive introduction to the subject matter, though the course is useful for people at all levels of familiarity with Buddhism and yoga.Click Register Now above if you wish to register to attend in person at Menla.
