The Essence of Tantra, Chapter Two

In this episode, we delve into Chapter Two of 'Tantrasāra' by Abhinavagupta, titled 'Illumination of Spontaneous Realization.' The chapter explores the concept of spontaneous modes of realization without methods or practices, a rare but profound occurrence. Such immediate insight into the nature of reality can lead to permanent immersion in divinity, independent of formal spiritual practices.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.  Hosted on Acast.
