Free Download Modern Tantric Buddhism: Embodiment and Authenticity in Dharma Practice (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CLWYX2SF | 2024 | 14 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 429 MB
Author: Lama Justin von Bujdoss
Narrator: A’rese Emokpae
Today, a new generation of Buddhists searches for ways to adopt Vajrayana while staying true to its historical legacy. Modern Tantric Buddhism unpacks the principles and applications of this esoteric practice in an accessible and meaningful manner, connecting its roots to a socially engaged, modern-day dharma. Taking a traditional Tibetan pedagogical approach, Lama Justin von Bujdoss divides the book into 3 thematic sections: Body, as it applies to physicality and embodiment. Speech, or ethical action. Mind, the context of awakening. Von Bujdoss challenges assumptions about what it means to be a socially engaged Buddhist, and presents Tantra as an ideal vehicle for critically examining today’s most pressing social issues while confronting the structural inequities of patriarchy, sexism, colonialism, and racism within Buddhist institutions.
