Now, with Buddhist Tantra, Reggie Ray – respected acharya (senior teacher) at the Shambhala Mountain Center – introduces you to these precious teachings, and invites you to explore the path to “unprecedented experience.” Entering the Vajra World through the Vehicle of Your Body The word tantra means “to weave through,” a metaphor that points to the vibrant fabric of intelligent and living energies that make up the essence of every cell of your body, every fleeting thought you have, and every particle of the universe.
