An Evening Talk with Lama Mark Webber
Re-shaping One’s Entire Life:
the relevance of
Buddhist Tantric practice
in the 21st century
The Buddhist tradition has three main paths and tens of thousands of practices and studies. However, the central meditation and activity is to remove afflictive emotional states and bewilderment: that which harms vivid awareness and compassion, for one’s self and others. This process reveals the extraordinary freedom of all things⏤including our minds. Lama Mark Webber will explain and give out some practices, of how the Buddhist Tantric Path of creation and completion yogas deeply transforms one’s entire life by opening the inherent freedom and compassion in body/appearance, speech and communication and mind/awareness.
The Tantric path uses a precise understanding of non-obstruction and openness ⏤ of all forms, appearances and awareness ⏤ to transform the harmful and anxiety states of ‘stickiness’ and clinging onto objects, people, places and events. The yogic meditations on the unhindered unity of form and intrinsic non-obstruction is at the heart of all Buddhist Tantric meditations.

Lama Mark Webber (Lama Karma Tenpa Lekshe Yongdu) has been studying and
teaching Buddha Dharma (the teachings of Liberation through the traditions
of Buddhism) for forty years. For 30 years his main root teacher was the great Ven. Namgyal Rinpoche who introduced him to and taught all three cycles of Dharma through many of the various traditions of the Buddha’s Teachings. And under the guidance and request of HE Ontul Rinpoche, a gifted teacher and yogi, Lama Mark is practicing and teaching the richness of the Drikung Mahamudra and Drikung Yangzab Dzogchen lineages. His universalist approach is classically founded in Buddhism and a number of meditative traditions, while completely integrated with contemporary life and the richness of modern Western culture.
Through many vehicles—including Buddha Dharma and meditation, science, art, craft work, and natural history, plus world travel—Lama Mark displays and teaches the wondrous unity, uniqueness and intrinsic freedom of all life.
His compassionate activities demonstrate a profound commitment to freeing beings from innumerable suffering states. Lama Mark’s emphasis with practitioners and students is on uncovering pure Dharma to reveal its extraordinary benefits and share the great joy of its deep study, meditative practices and integration into all aspects of our lives.
