Hello, everyone!

Happy new year!


May this new year finds us all in Shambhala!


What a beginning, right? Things ended in 2023 as intense as they come.


To start the year with the right foot forward, we have a slew of activities, but as a way to make everything easier, I’ve compiled a couple of links that new members can find useful:


·         You can always see the upcoming activities in our homepage: https://www.tantricsorcery.com/

·         What is Vajrayana?: https://www.tantricsorcery.com/vajrayana

·         WTF is Tantra?: https://www.tantricsorcery.com/wtf-is-tantra

·         Our Mission: https://www.tantricsorcery.com/mission

·         Our Structure – i.e. where we talk about our maps, systems and how to practice: https://www.tantricsorcery.com/structure

 

To sign up to anything, it’s all on one site. No more fiddling around with Paypal, no more “send me the mail, I signed up afterwards”.


The way around is very simple:

· 2-Where it says “log in” -> register a new user, or log in

· 3-Both in the landing page and here you will have the activities

· 4-To get a ticket is as easy on clicking on it. You will be given the option to support T-1, T-2 or get the ticket full price.


Alternatively, if you want to sign up to T-1 or T-2, you can do so here: https://www.tantricsorcery.com/subscriptions


Remember that we have our social media pages:

And of course, our Facebook Group.

 

Our Special Activities this month (please mind the requirements):

·         OPEN TO ALL - P-1: Introduction to Buddhism retreat day – Sat 6th

o   This is our Intro course, which lays the foundation for practice of everything we do. We’ll go a little bit experimental, in this one; we’ll do it in a retreat setting. If you want to start practicing beyong the open for all level, take this opportunity since we won’t open another until mid-year!

·         P2+ Required - Crazy Fucker Guru Yoga - The Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje empowerment – Sat 13th

o   Following our Yoga for Magical Murderhobos, it’s Do Khytense! The Wild Child of the Nyingma, this sword-waving emanation of Jigme Linga packs a punch

·         P1+ Required - Tara: The Mother of Sorcery and Liberation – Sun 14th

o   This yearlong course focuses on the Suryagupta lineage of the 21 Taras, the oldest and most magical of them. This is a complete system of 22 empowerments and teachings about sorcery.

·         Open for all - The Great NIRVANA OVERDRIVE – Sat 20th

o   Our Quarterly Gathering, in all its glory

·         Open for all - Sutra Studies - Intro to Yogacara – Sat 20th

o   Besides the Madhyamika, few schools have impacted Buddhism in general and the Mahayana as the Yogachara school. This year we’ll focus on its teachings and Sutras. To that end, we’ll start the year with a general teaching that will focus on its history and core concepts.

·         P1+ Required - Sun Wukong the Monkey King + Transformation mantras

o   The Monkey King. Son Goku. The greatest, best and the original. The Spotlight Stealing Squad Leader in all his glory. We’ll reopen the Mandala of Buddha Yuddhajaya. Since there have been new parts of the Upadesha available, those people who already are committed to the Monkey King can re-take the empowerment freely to gain the new mantras!

 

And besides this workshops and teachings, we’ll be also adding more, so stay tuned!

Have a great beginning to the year!

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

What is going to be taught?

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!
