It can't be, right?
Are we really finishing 2024 already?
We've got a lot of activities for you, but first, let's get the basic info out of the way...stay tuned for some special announcements later on.

Sometimes people ask: what do you do with the money you raise? We pay for things. Like trips to teach the Dharma, like our Zoom, our Otter.ai transcribing service or the thousand things we do to keep teaching. At the same time, remember that money shouldn't be a problem. We have free activities every month.
But basically: you give us money, we put it to use in the teaching of Dharma.
Mexican adventures
The Mexican teachings were a success!
Yes, everything was wonderful, and without a hitch.
You can watch the open teachings here (in Spanish, with Youtube's automatic subtitles)
Monthly activities
(more info on each link and on our video!)
We declare December the PEMA month, for all devotees of the Lord of Compassion!
This Saturday 12/7 we have an Empowerment of Nyala Pema Dudul's Avalokiteshvara
On Tuesday 12/10 we have the Cutoff of the Dharmic Tarot (see below)
On 12/14, there's an Empowerment of the Lion's Roar Singhananda and Fire Puja to ensure a good 2025
On Saturday 12/21 we have both activities of the Monkey King (see below). Both the Empowerment and the Monkey Puja for Sorcerous Activities.
And finally, on 12/28 we'll have both our special operations ritual group and the P-3 cohort.
So, what's the unique requirements? Let me break those down.
Dharmic Tarot
As you know, Buddhadharma's not only a set of beliefs, but a meta-belief. That is, you can use the conceptual framework of Buddhadharma to understand and use different systems of magic and ritual. That's what happened in a lot of the history of Buddhism's expansion: Buddhism + Daoism = Zen, Buddhism + Confucianism = Won, etc.
After teaching the I-Ching last month (which you can see below) ...
... we've been asked to explain how would you do the same for the Tarot.
And we will.
But, we require something of you.
To calibrate the class, we require a reading from you.
This class is both free and open for those who can answer the question "What is the secret desire behind my desire to take this class?" via a reading. You can use any tarot and any spread. But take a photo or a video and send it before 12/10 to trc@tantricsorcery.com
We'll let you know by 12/13 if you're in and when it's going to take place.
(those of you who solicited this, just write me to confirm it, you're in already)
Hope to see you there!
The Monkey King
By now, you should know that Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, has showed us an Upadesha. I will be giving his empowerment in December, as well as a special Puja for those of you who have already completed the accumulation (that is, not for those who just take the first empowerment; this will happen again soon, don't worry).
But The Monkey King has asked for something else: a 13-moon cycle of practice for revealing more advanced practices. We will start next year, at the end of January. This will be a course for those who have completed the accumulation, so if you're starting now, you have 1.5 months to do so.
You will be receiving a part of the Upadesha per month but be warned: there are both mantra and physical exercise requirements for this effort. At the end, you will get the complete Upadesha of Sun Wukong (if everyone completes the challenge and the Upadesha finishes revealing itself).
It's a steep commitment; that's why we're letting you know with time. Think about it and next month you can let me know.
As you can see, a pretty busy december, and the beginning of an intense year.
Next month: the next Mara Roast's location + Sun Wukong group!
