- Buddhism was introduced into Tibet via India and China beginning in the 600s. Over time, Tibetan Buddhism developed a sophisticated scholastic philosophy and elaborate and unique forms of tantric practice.
As interest in Tibetan Buddhism in the West has grown, some of these teachings and practices have become known, but are not always understood or used correctly. In this conversation with Andrew Holecek, a well-known authority on Tibetan Buddhism, author and editor Richard Smoley explores essential themes, such as the benefit and peril of tantra, dream meditation, Bardo, the role of the Guru, and the challenge of integrating Tibetan Buddhism in our western culture.
Dr. Andrew Holecek is an author and spiritual teacher who offers seminars on meditation, lucid dreaming, and dream yoga in the United States and abroad. As a longtime student of Buddhism, he presents this tradition from a contemporary perspective, blending the ancient wisdom of the East with modern knowledge from the West. Known as an expert on lucid dreaming and the Tibetan yogas of sleep and dream, he is an experienced guide for students drawn to these powerful practices. Dr. Andrew Holecek’s works include Dream Yoga: Illuminating Your Life Through Lucid Dreaming and the Tibetan Yogas of Sleep; the audio learning course Dream Yoga: The Tibetan Path of Awakening Through Lucid Dreaming; Dreams of Light: The Profound Daytime Practice of Lucid Dreaming; and The Lucid Dreaming Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Mastering Your Dream Life (See all of his books).
