The Bliss of Tantra — Change Your Mind, Change Your World

The highest human goal is full enlightenment, a state of complete inner peace in which all mental obstructions have been removed and all good qualities, such as wisdom, compassion, and skilful means, have been fully developed.
 
Buddha’s Tantric teachings are his most profound and transformative instructions, often described as the quick path to enlightenment. By skilfully harnessing imagination, Tantra develops wisdom and compassion together, giving rise to a powerful bliss that liberates the mind and enables us to benefit both ourselves and others.
 
In this series, Chelvi will offer a clear and practical introduction to the essential principles of Tantra. Through engaging talks and guided meditations, she will explain what Tantra truly is and how we can begin to use these special methods to transform our body and mind, experience genuine inner freedom, and move toward our highest potential.
 
The series also provides excellent preparation for those wishing to receive Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments at this year’s International Kadampa Summer Festival (24 July – 8 August 2026.)
