Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire

The meditative practice called Tonglen in Tibetan, meaning taking-and-giving, is a powerful way to invoke and enhance our loving-kindness and compassion. We can apply these heartfelt qualities to the problematic areas of our life, helping us to shift perspective, let go of anger, guilt and fear, and find clarity and courage to face these issues. In this course, we will investigate the different aspects of tonglen meditation and deepen our cultivation of love and compassion.

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

All are welcome; no prerequisite needed.  

When: Mondays 7 pm - 8:30 pm
March 21st, 28th,
April 4th, 11th, 25th,

Where: In-person and via Zoom.

Meet the Teacher: Wai Cheong Kok

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.
