Rob Preece

Mudra Publications

Rob Preece brings a unique blend of traditional understanding, meditation experience and Western psychology. This will be invaluable to both new and experienced practitioners to enable a deepening of the effectiveness of the tantric path. Tasting the Essence of Tantra introduces an embodied approach to meditation within the Tibetan tantric tradition.Following The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra this book takes us into the subtleties of meditation within the tantric tradition. Tantra is rich and inspiring, but is not simple and can easily become bound up in technicalities and complexity that are hard to navigate. In this book, following the insights of his teacher Lama Thubten Yeshe, Rob Preece, guides us into a way of meditation that can free us from much of this complexity, creating space within practice and enabling us to feel the essence of tantra. He emphasises the need to make an awareness of the body and its energy central to meditation. With years of experience as a psychotherapist and mentor he introduces a way of practice that directly meets our particular Western psychological nature. He gives an invaluable insight into the underlying psychological process many of us can experience within practice.

We live in uncertain times, and to engage in the world to serve the welfare of others requires great courage and dedication. In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is one whose life is dedicated to awaken in the service of others. A bodhisattva’s intention of bodhicitta, the awakening mind, is rooted in compassion, love and the courage to live in a challenging world, transforming adversity into the path of awakening. In Heart Essence, Rob Preece brings a fresh enquiry into the qualities that support a bodhisattva’s journey, including many of the psychological challenges encountered in the process of awakening. He draws on his years of experience both as a psychotherapist and a tantric practitioner to explore what needs to be cultivated to enhance the qualities of bodhicitta and also how we can embody these in our lives. This will be of value to those who aspire - particularly as tantric practitioners - to the life of a bodhisattva.

Chenrezig - Embodying Compassionate Presence 
Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is probably the most familiar Tibetan Buddhist deity. As the Buddha of Compassion he embodies the compassionate presence that is central to a bodhisattva’s capacity to serve the welfare of others. Compassionate presence is possibly the most healing quality we can offer another. It is needed if we are to begin to heal some of our core emotional and psychological wounds both within ourselves and others. This book delves into the psychological roots of our human suffering from early wounding onwards to explore how the practice of Chenrezig can be a profound and powerful healing resource. Rob Preece brings together years of experience as both psychotherapist and Buddhist teacher to illuminate a way of practice that is fresh, creative and highly relevant to health and well-being in our contemporary life.
