In this book Osho talks about the mystical insight of Tantra that is to be found in these ancient writings. Mining these ancient Tantric writings and meditation practices Osho illuminates such concepts as the nature of darkness and light, the paradoxical wisdom of the "pathless path," and reverence for the body as a bridge to the divine. No matter how complex, esoteric, or obscure the subject, Osho always examines it from a uniquely refreshing perspective - he uses time honoured traditions as a hook to bring timeless truths to the widest possible audience with irreverent wit and thought-provoking inspiration. |

The Buddhist Tantras : A Guide by David B. Gray (Author) Series:Guides to Sacred Texts Format: Paperback / softback 288 pages, 2 b/w maps Publisher:Oxford University Press Inc Imprint:Oxford University Press Inc ISBN:9780197623848 Published:12 Nov 2023 Dimensions:138 x 209 x 19 (mm) Pub. Country:United States Country of Origin:GB Description The tantric Buddhist traditions emerged in India beginning in the seventh century CE and flourished there until the demise of Buddhism in India circa the fifteenth century. These traditions were disseminated to Central, East, and Southeast Asia, and continue to be practiced, most notably in Nepal, Tibet and Japan, as well as in the numerous Tibetan traditions disseminated around the world by Tibetan masters living in diaspora. The central scriptures for these traditions were generally designated by the term tantra. Tantras are works that purport to relate secret teachings of the buddhas that enable awakening in as short as one lifetime. As such they are understood by their advocates to be the inspired speech of a buddha, and hence worthy of inclusion in the canons of Buddhist traditions. Over the past twenty years there has been considerable growth in the study of tantras as well as translations of these works into Western languages. This volume provides a detailed introduction to the Buddhist tantras. It addresses their development in India, their dissemination to Central, East and Southeast Asia, and their reception in these contexts. It introduces the key teachings in the tantras, as well as the history of their interpretation, and their connection to traditions of ritual, and contemplative practices. It also introduces the classification of the tantras and their place in Buddhist scriptural canons. It concludes with a look at the transgressive rhetoric that characterizes many of the tantras, the impact this had on their dissemination and translation, and the ways in which Buddhists explained this. It suggests that transgressive rhetoric and practices served an important role in Buddhist tantric traditions, which may be why they persist despite the challenges they have presented to the dissemination of these traditions. |

Living Tantra : A Journey into Sex, Spirit and Relationship by Jan Day (Author) Format: Paperback / softback 280 pages Publisher:Watkins Media Limited Imprint:Watkins Publishing Edition:0 New edition ISBN:9781786785428 Published:9 Nov 2021 Dimensions:137 x 214 x 22 (mm) Pub. Country:United Kingdom Country of Origin:GB Description Tantra originated in India many centuries ago but it's uniquely placed to help people use real life as grist to the mill for spiritual transformation. The purpose of the book is to articulate what Tantra can be in our modern times and how it can be applied to all aspects of our everyday life. Traditionally Tantra was a path that brought spirituality out of the caves and monasteries and into the life of householders. It didn't seek to separate sexuality and spirituality and to force people to make a choice but rather to integrate the life of family and relationship with spirituality. This includes sexuality but it's not all about sexuality, and this is a rare book that applies Tantra to every aspect of life. Living Tantra is a body of work that aims to bring the essence and core message of tantra into relevance for our contemporary life and society as a path of spiritual growth and human development. It's based on her legendary workshops which book up via word of mouth and attracts attendees from across Europe and North America, especially Sweden, Austria, USA, Germany, Spain and the Czech Republic. The exercises here come out of these workshops and mean that we can benefit from this work in our own homes. The principles of Living Tantra are to use all life, all experience to learn and become more conscious of ourselves and the world around us, to care more for ourselves, each other and the world and to develop greater compassion. Tantra includes everything. It is "the weaving together of all that is". |

Tantric Sex and Menopause : Practices for Spiritual and Sexual Renewal by Diana Richardson (Author) , Janet McGeever (Author)Format: Paperback / softback 224 pages, 21 b&w illustrations Publisher:Inner Traditions Bear and Company Imprint:Destiny Books,U.S. ISBN:9781620556832 Published:17 May 2018 Dimensions:155 x 228 x 14 (mm) Pub. Country:United States Country of Origin:US Description A tantric guide to discovering the hidden gifts of menopause. Shining the light of tantric intelligence on menopause, the authors reveal how to explore and experience menopause in a radically positive fashion, suffused with a sense of vital awakening and “re-wilding” of a woman’s sexuality, creativity, and spirituality. Explaining what to expect physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as what it means for relationships, they detail tantric practices and tools to connect with the body’s inner intuitive wisdom and heart energies, remove the “performance pressure” of conventional sex, and set the stage for passion and pleasure to thrive both in the bedroom and beyond. They explain why Tantra works for menopausal women and how their bodies are naturally entering a more tantric phase focused on creative, spiritual energy. They explore how, in Tantra, sex is practiced not for the sake of sex itself but as an instrument for going “beyond” sex, for better health, improved relationships, enhanced self-control and emotional balance, and even higher states of consciousness. They also offer many self-help practices, exercises, and meditations to reinforce a positive attitude toward menopause and overcome many of the physical and sexual problems, such as pain, dryness, loss of interest, and loss of libido. Providing a guide for women who are approaching, experiencing, or have gone through menopause, the authors show how a more informed, tantric approach to menopause allows each woman to deepen her trust in the perfect functioning of the female body, embrace her natural sexual response, and reconnect with her inner self. |
