Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire

Wai Cheong

About the Teaching

This course will introduce the key elements of Buddhist tantric practice: its underlying principles, the supporting conditions, and the practical means to transform our attitudes toward pleasure and desire. Contrary to popular beliefs that tantra is the pursuit of greater sensual pleasures, the practice of Buddhist Tantra enhances wisdom and compassion, which help us to let go of our attachment to sensual pleasure and find true contentment in genuine happiness.

Each session will feature explanation, guided meditations and time for Q&A.

All are welcome; no prerequisite needed.

Wai Cheong

Wai Cheong Kok is from Singapore. He has been teaching meditation and Buddhism since 1996, with a special interest in making available the benefits of meditation to a wider audience. From 2006-2015 and starting from 2020, he has served as a senior teacher at Vajrayana Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist Centre affiliated to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). After studying Dharma for several years, Wai Cheong set out to deepen his understanding of spiritual practice by completing the first 7-year Masters program in Advanced Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy from 1998-2004. This was followed by a four month solitary retreat in New Zealand.
