Met het oog op het komende weekend met Rob Preece (Compassionate Presence, 5-7 april ) hebben we er voor gekozen om de volgende bijeenkomst van de KenKon leesgroep te besteden aan Rob’s meest recente boek: ‘Tasting the Essence of Tantra: Buddhist Meditation for Contemporary Western Life.’

Over het boek:
“Rob Preece brings a unique blend of traditional understanding, meditation experience and Western psychology. This will be invaluable to both new and experienced practitioners to enable a deepening of the effectiveness of the tantric path. Tasting the Essence of Tantra introduces an embodied approach to meditation within the Tibetan tantric tradition.Following The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra this book takes us into the subtleties of meditation within the tantric tradition. Tantra is rich and inspiring, but is not simple and can easily become bound up in technicalities and complexity that are hard to navigate. In this book, following the insights of his teacher Lama Thubten Yeshe, Rob Preece, guides us into a way of meditation that can free us from much of this complexity, creating space within practice and enabling us to feel the essence of tantra. He emphasises the need to make an awareness of the body and its energy central to meditation. With years of experience as a psychotherapist and mentor he introduces a way of practice that directly meets our particular Western psychological nature. He gives an invaluable insight into the underlying psychological process many of us can experience within practice.”
