Donate to Banyen Books here: https://www.banyen.com/events/donate The Magic of Vajrayana opens new doors and immerses you in one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most vibrant traditions of mystical practice. Written in simple clear English, the book bridges the gap between classical instruction and idealized descriptions of spiritual insights and understandings. It shows you how to bring a traditional practice text to life for each of Vajrayana’s three pillars: Teacher, Deity, and Protector. This intimate portrait of Vajrayana practice is in effect an empowerment. It plants seeds in the reader which, if nurtured, grow into spiritual insight, non-referential compassion, and a changed relationship with life. “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 “Rather than telling you what Vajrayana is, Ken McLeod shows you what it is.” —Stephen Batchelor Ken McLeod is the author of several books, including the quintessential Buddhist classic, Wake Up to Your Life.
