Question asked by jason
Hi
i recently recieved a manual with complete instruction on clear light tantric meditation and was wondering if i need initiation to do this practice. I currently have no tantric initiation and am a novice at best.
I'm so afraid that i haven't even taken off the silk cover much less read it. What should i do with it.
Dear Jason
Consider it a great blessing to receive such a holy text. Perhaps your “fear” is because of your high regard for tantra. Yes, you will need the blessings of your Guru and to receive the transmission before engaging in clear light tantric meditation.
I’d advise for you to put the text on your altar, and make aspirational prayers that you will one day receive higher practices.
Your spiritual teacher will be more than qualified to guide you to prepare yourself before receiving initiations.
