In this user's guide to Psychedelic Buddhism, Lama Mike Crowley
presents techniques for Buddhists who wish to incorporate
psychedelics into their practice as well as for psychonauts who are
interested in the maps of inner space provided by Buddhism. The
author details how psychedelics have led to spontaneous awakening
experiences, such as "Indra's net" and universal voidness, that
were once thought to be available only to advanced meditators. He
explores the use of psychedelics, such as LSD or psilocybin
mushrooms, in a Buddhist context, sharing the kind of spiritual
experiences and benefits that can be gained with each. The author
also looks at the use of psychedelics encoded in Vedic and Buddhist
scriptures, particularly in the Vajrayana tradition, from the
Middle Ages until the present day. Presenting an informed summary
of Buddhism for psychonauts, the author explores the key beliefs of
Buddhism, the life of the Buddha, and the practices followed in
various yanas, or paths. He describes meditation techniques, with
special attention being given to the generation of the Four
Positive Attitudes: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy,
and equanimity, each being taken from their personal to their
universal forms. He looks at Buddhism symbols, ceremonies, deities,
and initiations, as well as psychic powers in Buddhist tradition,
and how these ideas and practices can be used in the exploration of
the inner realms of consciousness. Providing a complete guide to
integrating psychedelics into Buddhist practice, this book reveals
how the ancient Buddhist teachers discovered their universal maps
of consciousness and how you can use their wisdom to guide your
journey.
