The Shortest Path for the Darkest Age
Harder, Faster, More Outrageous
When an individual embarks on a journey through the worlds of consciousness and light, it ignites both an intensely personal and a magically transcendent process of self-discovery and awakening. Marcel Proust said, "We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us."
Extreme Buddhism is what we call a “fast path” approach to spirituality. In this chaotic world, with all of its stress, global challenges, and war, we don’t believe we have time for a casual stroll up the mountain to clarity, power and enlightenment, even though we have forever…
The study of “fast-path” Buddhism, or Tantric Buddhist Mysticism, offers the opportunity to explore life fully and gloriously, in all of its depth, beauty, horror and ecstasy– not in ten or twenty years, but now.
Rather than seeking to escape aspects of the journey through this world, mystics bravely confront and embrace whatever circumstance we may be facing, discovering the all-encompassing peace that is ultimately revealed at the heart of all experience, and in every moment.
Like “extreme” sports, we bring an urgency, intensity and exhilaration to the practices of self-discovery and the pathway to enlightenment that are distinctly non-ordinary.
Many have called this journey hard. We call it harder, faster and more outrageous. But no one has ever called it dull.
