About the event

In the vast tapestry of Tibetan Buddhist lore, the story of Yeshe Tsogyal shines like a brilliant jewel. Her life isn't merely a chronicle of events but a powerful myth embodying the boundless potential of the human spirit. Let me tell you her tale:

A Princess Scorned

Yeshe Tsogyal was born a princess, a life of privilege and comfort. But destiny had other plans. Forced into an arranged marriage that her heart rebelled against, she found herself a prisoner in a gilded cage. Driven by an indomitable spirit, she fled, renouncing the world and seeking a truth she sensed lay beyond the confines of her life.

The Lotus-Born Guru

Her journey led her to Padmasambhava, a legendary master known as the Lotus-Born Guru. Though initially skeptical of this strange man with his long hair and untamed beard, Yeshe Tsogyal surrendered herself to the path of Dharma.  Padmasambhava recognized her potential and initiated her into the secret teachings of the Vajrayana.

Trials and Transformations

The path ahead was not without danger and adversity. Yeshe Tsogyal endured trials that would have broken a lesser spirit – scorn from those bound by convention, threats from demons both inner and outer, and the harshness of the natural world. Yet, with Padmasambhava's guidance, she transformed her obstacles into fuel for her spiritual journey.

The Wisdom Dakini

Through these ordeals, Yeshe Tsogyal transcended all limitations. She became a wisdom dakini, her mind a radiant mirror reflecting the pure light of enlightenment. No longer was she merely a princess; she was the embodiment of wisdom, compassion, and fearless realization.

Hiding the Treasures

Yeshe Tsogyal and Padmasambhava knew the time wasn't ripe for all their teachings. Thus, they concealed them as terma – hidden treasures meant for future generations when the minds of practitioners would be ready to receive them. Yeshe Tsogyal's commitment to preserving the lineage of wisdom for others is a testament to her profound devotion.

The Unfading Legacy

Though her time on Earth came to an end, Yeshe Tsogyal's story continued to inspire. Through the centuries, countless seekers have looked to her as a beacon of liberation, a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming odds, the human spirit can break free. She represents the feminine wisdom often overshadowed in patriarchal societies.

If you'd like to vibrate with her path, we'll do her empowerment. Everyone is welcome!

Banner Mara Roast 2025.png

Burn, Mara Burn

Yes, the time has come again.

The time when we gather to roast Mara and practice to liberate Samsara.

We liked the Portland experience so much last year that this year it's the official Mara Roast Location!

We'll be there from September 29 through October 4, doing teachings, yogas and sorceries together!

Ok, so where in Portland, OR?

Guru Prajwal's temple, near Hawthorne and Chavez.

1405 SE 40th Avenue Portland OR 97214-4406

Ok, there is a cost, right? And what does it cover?

Yes, sadly there is a cost.

It takes money and effort to travel, translate and host, so we need to ask for your collaboration. This will cover the cost of the teachings; they're five days full of teachings you will literally not find anywhere else. 

You have to provide your food and lodgins; we will give the teachings, plus all the files and documents you need to practice.

As an aside, we will define one session to be streamed, but most of it won't. This is an encounter; we want to meet and practice together. There's plenty of teachings every month online, but this is different.

The cost is going to be on a sliding window; why? Because there's a limit to the space that we have and we need to set everything up beforehand. 

For March, the Early Bird ticket is $650 for everything.

April to July, the ticket is $750.

August and September is going to be $900. So get in early!

You can get your ticket right here.

Oh, I want to participate, but I can't afford it.

We understand. We also wanted to practice and it took time and effort. 

There's a scholarship option.

This covers two things:

1-The lodging: There's a chance to crash in the temple. The space is limited and you should bring a sleeping bag, but it's doable.

2-The teachings: There's limited teaching space, but if you want to come, we'll try to make you room.

The only thing we need to emphasize is that everything is limited. We will need to make a decision, and it will be nothing personal if we cannot grant you either or both of them. But we need to make sure that the event is viable. Please do not sign up via paypal if you selected a scholarship option until we get back to you. 

The scholarship form is here:

Mara Roast 2025 - Scholarship form

This is the form to participate of the Mara Roast via Scholarship. Please do not sign up on the Paypal link if you request scholarship until you hear from us; there's a limited space to participate and to teach, so we will have to make a divination on how many scholarship spaces there are.

Scholarship Requested

Last year, there were some cool guides and playlists...

We got you:

See you there!
