What if the only thing standing between you and directly experiencing the Divine is . . . you? Find out how to get out of your own way as you look to see God.
Tantric Christianity is a revolutionary book bringing together two seemingly disparate spiritual traditions: contemplative Christianity and esoteric Buddhism. Inspired by contemplative luminaries such as Thomas Merton, the Dalai Lama, St. Teresa of Avila, St John of the Cross, and St Ignatius of Loyola, readers will learn how a number of ancient Buddhist meditation techniques can be profitably added to their Christian spiritual practice.
Through accessible and insightful teachings, readers discover how to use these powerful techniques to deepen their connection with the divine and to cultivate greater awareness and presence in their daily lives. These ancient practices explored pave a road toward:
* Cultivating greater comfort with the ‘coming and going’ of all things
* Honing tremendous strength of mental focus
* Fine tuning visualization skills
* Purification of our will and intellect
* Strengthening our spiritual resolve
* Developing and expanding our compassion
Drawing on his extensive knowledge of both Christian and Buddhist traditions, the author provides the Western student a clear and detailed guide to the most profound interior practices of the East. With step-by-step instructions and practical exercises, readers will learn how to integrate meditation, prayer, and visualization into their spiritual practice in a way that is both meaningful and effective.
Whether you are a devout Christian looking to deepen your spiritual practice or a Buddhist practitioner seeking new insights and techniques, Tantric Christianity offers a unique and transformative approach to spirituality that will leave you feeling more connected, empowered, and alive.
