It is my desire to share this form of Mahayana Tantra with those outside the inner circle of Buddhism. This particular sound meditation is a way of generating luminosity (inner light) through tantric union—specifi cally, the union of Tara, the Swift Protectress, and Chenrezig, the Buddha of Infi nite Compassion. This alchemical union takes place in the heart chakra of the one doing the meditation, which then emanates both luminosity and compassion to all Sentient Beings, a powerful blessing to the world and to the individual practicing this meditation.

This CD contains background and instructions on how to conduct this alchemical union. It describes both the Kalachakra and a concept called Victory of the Dharma, explaining that goodness will eventually prevail no matter how long it takes and no matter how diffi cult the path.

The actual meditation itself uses sound, mantra and intention to drive consciousness into a very deep inner space. It is from this ground of being that our bodhicitta (enlightened mind) can be contacted, and it is from this aspect of mind that compassion arises.
