Join host Michael Taft as he talks with translator, author, and teacher Ken McLeod about Ken’s new book: The Magic of Vajrayana, particularly the tripartite practice structure of guru, deity, and protector in Tibetan Buddhism.
Ken McLeod began his study and practice of Buddhism in 1970 under the eminent Tibetan master Kalu Rinpoche. After completing two three-year retreats, he was appointed as resident teacher for Kalu Rinpoche’s center in Los Angeles, California, where he developed innovative approaches to teaching and translation. After his teacher’s death in 1989, Ken established Unfettered Mind, a place for those whose path lies outside established institutions. His many published works include Wake Up to Your Life, A Trackless Path, and his new book, entitled The Magic of Vajrayana.

Looking forward to reading this.
Tonight was my first exposure to Ken McLeod when I was reviewing the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva. There was a link on his site to this podcast. It was good to hear his voice and hear about his experiences teaching “practical Buddhism”. Thank you for this opportunity. Tashi delek.
