The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra with Psychotherapist Rob Preece

[@peteryontengyatso4437]

Perfect questions, thank you! Thank you Mr.Preece too, for indeed making this bridge between east and west, it's very motivating after you touch the subject with our western curiousity and the way we are used to.

What's amazing to me is that only recently, within the past few months, after practicing & studying Buddhism for 40+ years, I have confirmed everything spoken about in this video. I say "confirmed" because this "experiential realization" (of body, emotion & mind) has occurred over weeks WELL BEFORE coming across this video or any other published sources of this view of Tantra. It all came together (so to speak) when I began to practice Hatha & Kundalini yogas about 6 months ago. It became clear to me over that time that what was being neglected to that point in my practice was the body. Enlightenment exists in the body - or to say it more precisely, we are not just our idea of who we are, we are also the actual BEING of who we are. We are human BEING not just human "thinking." BEINGS have bodies and emotions and not just minds or intellects. Hatha Yoga and Kundalini showed me this and took me back into the body. 🙏

The Orthodox Christian mystical tradition also emphasises that prayer (of meditation or contemplation) should and does involve the body, too. It instructs practitioners to focus their minds in their hearts (the heart chakra, in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions), repeating silently either a spiritual word of their own choice (love, one, and similar) or the traditional Prayer of the Heart ("Jesus Christ [Son of God], have mercy on me [sinner]". The words in square brackets are optional. The Prayer of the Heart is widely practiced in Orthodox monasteries, with many reports of profound mystical experiences.

👍👍I think we highly need more of that kind of topic to make connections between Psychology and Buddhism. Thank you for this very interesting interview. 🌈

Don't be a skeptic, be neutral and equalised. Skepticism implies one is already of prejudice and bias. You're welcome.

[@trainahappymind]

Interesting perspective!

[@vaska1999]

Skepticism is usually understood to mean an attitude of resistance to blind credulity, itself free of prejudice or bias. A skeptic refuses to believe a priori, is agnostic at the start (and, depending on the evidence presented, may remain agnostic in the end too).

I love the “Secular Buddhists”. Ridiculous

[@vaska1999]

Why? Don't Buddhists routinely claim that Buddhism is not a religion. And that despite the many Hindu deities Buddhism acknowledges!
