Is it Really Possible to Live in Joy and Wonderment?
The Tantric Buddhist sages created a new concept of the goal of spiritual practice. The aim was no longer Nirvana, conceived as a mere cessation of consciousness and life. Such a boring mode of escape from suffering held no appeal for the experience-hungry ego mind. The new climax of inner development announced by the teachers of this radical line of spiritual orientation would now be the attainment of Maha Sukha, the Great Bliss. This would be achieved not through renunciation and asceticism, but through extreme intensification and sublimation. This paradigm shift also revealed that there is one more stage that lies beyond even endless bliss—and that supreme attainment is now the immediate event horizon for consciousness. In our upcoming retreat, we will cross the bridge of bliss into the inconceivable realm of the Absolute Real.
