Meet Prajwal Ratna Vajracharya.
Charya Nritya
Prajwal Ratna Vajracharya
Tantric Buddhist priest from the Kathmandu valley and a ritual master of charya nritya, the sacred dance of Newar Vajrayana, in which body, speech and mind are the means by which a practitioner embodies an enlightened deity. Newar Buddhism is a tradition of its own, kin to Tibetan Buddhism as Vajrayana but not the same thing.
