Tantric Buddhism developed outside the monasteries in small groups gathered around magical, shamanic gurus. In this talk Vadanya explores what magic is and how we can bring mystery into the forefront of life as an act of 'war against the ordinary'.   Excerpted from the talk entitled Making Life Magic recorded at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2019, as part of the series Tantra Now! *** Follow the Free Buddhist Audio podcast.
