Vajrayāna

Vajrayāna, often called Tantric Buddhism, is a form of Buddhism emphasizing the use of rituals, symbols, and meditation techniques to attain enlightenment quickly. Originating in India and Tibet, it employs practices like visualization, mantras (sacred chants), and deity yoga to transform everyday experiences into spiritual progress. Vajrayāna aims to accelerate enlightenment by engaging both the mind and body in specialized practices, often under the guidance of a spiritual teacher. It combines philosophical insights of Buddhism with esoteric methods, making it a profound and complex path tailored for dedicated practitioners seeking deep spiritual transformation.
