Ken McLeod

Ken McLeod, a seasoned teacher and author in Tibetan Buddhism, shares his deep insights into Vajrayana as a living practice rather than merely a pursuit of enlightenment. He discusses the significance of lam khyer, or 'living practice,' and critiques transactional approaches to Buddhism. McLeod highlights the power of prayer, distinguishing between petitionary and aspirational types, while emphasizing the need for nurturing spirituality in secret. He also explores modern challenges in integrating traditional practices within Western culture and the importance of intimate relationships with personal deities or yidams.
