Book Description
Tantric Buddhism is concerned with the direct experience of who we are and what we can become. Its sole aim is to help us realize our potential for profound wisdom and unbounded compassion by transforming the energy locked in by old habits, fears and narrow views. For the Tantra this experience is beyond words and thought. But it can be evoked with the help of symbols. Without the help of a reliable guide one could easily get lost or overwhelmed in this unfamiliar world of symbols. Sangharakshita is such a guide.

Book Description
What does it mean to be a Buddhist today? How are we to relate to the diverse forms that have come down to us? Sangharakshita is one of the modern world's most influential and respected Buddhists. After spending many years in the East, he returned to Britain in 1967 to establish an international Buddhist movement and has developed a broad approach to Buddhism that is at once thoroughly traditional and radically original. This unique introduction provides a summary of his contribution not only to Buddhism in the West, but internationally

Book Description
In this volume Sangharakshita approaches communicating Buddhism in the West from two very different, but equally illuminating, angles. In the first part, in talks given in the early years of his teaching in England, he introduces the apparently exotic worlds of Tibetan Buddhism (1965) and its creative symbols (1972) and Zen Buddhism (1965), clarifying their mysteries while also somehow allowing them to work their magic.

Book Description
Buddhism points to your mind as a way to understand and transform your experience. But, as Robin Cooper explains, it takes an exploratory approach, it asks you to seek: it is not a revelation of religious truths. The Buddha saw that we are all in a tough predicament. We are constantly anxious about what we lack and what we may lose, and in chasing security we easily cause pain to others. The Buddha asked us to explore. Be aware, probe the edges of your awareness, investigate, and find your mind.
