Synopsis
A moving description of a life in practice which goes far beyond text-based ideas of prayer, devotion, guru-connection, or meditation, and most especially of tantric practice.
—Anne Klein, former Chair of the Department of Religion at Rice University.
A ground-breaking book, The Magic of Vajrayana opens new doors to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Vajrayana, one of the most vibrant traditions of mystical practice in the world today.
Rather than telling you what Vajrayana is, the author shows you.
—Stephen Batchelor, author of Buddhism without Beliefs.
For each of the three pillars of Vajrayana practice—teacher, deity, and protector, McLeod shows the reader how to bring a traditional practice text to life. In the teacher section, the reader steps into a world of faith, devotion, prayer, and meditation and learns how these elements open a door to mahamudra and dzogchen. In the deity section, the reader enters a realm of magic and mystery, an enchanted world that radically shifts his or her understanding of life and self. And in the protector section, the reader comes face to face with the power of the protectors and how that power guides a practitioner through the many traps and pitfalls of spiritual practice.
If you want to touch the wild, beating heart of Vajrayana– including empowerment, ngöndro, mantra, guru and deity yoga—I can’t imagine a more helpful book than Ken McLeod‘s The Magic of Vajrayana.
—Michael Taft, Deconstructing Self podcast
Not for the faint-hearted, this intimate portrait of Vajrayana practice is in effect an empowerment. It plants seeds in the reader which will, if nurtured, grow into spiritual insight, non-referential compassion, and a changed relationship with life.
Along with Reflections on Silver River and A Trackless Path, the Magic of Vajrayana completes a trilogy of instruction in Buddhist practice in the Tibetan tradition.
