Yangti Yoga Publications
Yangti Yoga’s publication work spans two expressions: the translation and production of rare Tibetan language practice texts through Yangti Yoga Publications, and Lama Justin’s ongoing contributions to the wider conversation on Vajrayana practice, chaplaincy, and contemplative life through interviews, essays, and press features.
​
Taken together, these represent Yangti’s commitment to the translation imperative — not only of texts from one language into another, but of living practice from one culture into another, in a way that honors the tradition and serves the practitioner.

Embodiment and Authenticity in Dharma Practice
By Justin von Bujdoss
Foreword by Lama Rod Owens
Published by North Atlantic Books
Today, a new generation of Buddhists searches for ways to adopt Vajrayana while staying true to its historical legacy. Modern Tantric Buddhism unpacks the principles and applications of this esoteric practice in an accessible and meaningful manner, connecting its roots to a socially engaged, modern-day dharma. Taking a traditional Tibetan pedagogical approach, Lama Justin von Bujdoss divides the book into 3 thematic sections:
• Body, as it applies to physicality and embodiment
• Speech, or ethical action
• Mind, the context of awakening
Von Bujdoss challenges assumptions about what it means to be a socially engaged Buddhist, and presents Tantra as an ideal vehicle for critically examining today’s most pressing social issues while confronting the structural inequities of patriarchy, sexism, colonialism, and racism within Buddhist institutions.
