Episode 101: Decivilizing the Vajrayana Part I




Dharma Ocean show

Summary: Today, we listen to a talk Reggie gave on the radical roots of Vajrayana practice. He explains how Vajrayana Buddhism was originally a wild spirituality that was practiced in jungles, but is now a largely abstract and domesticated religion. Our challenge, he says, is to recover the authentic primordiality of the tradition. This talk was given at the 2007 Advanced Meditating with the Body retreat held at the Blazing Mountain Retreat Center in Crestone, CO.
