    Most effective innovation in American Buddhism in past decade has been the rise of rational, sequential meditation systems derived mostly from Mahasi method: MCTB, TMI. Revisiting draft text I wrote six years ago about doing the same for Vajrayana; wondering whether to complete.

        “Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha” by @danielmingram and “The Mind Illuminated” by @Culadasa. Discussed (somewhat in passing) in my latest post:https://vividness.live/2019/07/05/some-preliminaries-ngondro/ …

        Is Roaring Silence the closest current thing?

        That’s an introduction to the Dzogchen preliminary practices, rather than tantra as such… I recommended some introductory books on Buddhist tantra here: https://vividness.live/2012/04/27/now-you-something-say/#introductions … None of them are strongly practice-oriented though :(

        Find a personal teacher to Skype with. You’ll waste hundreds or thousands of hours otherwise.

        Yes please! I'm quite clear that I want to be doing something more like vajrayana than like sutrayana; would love to chat with you about this sometime.
