We should be resting, shouldn’t we?
Last month’s visit by Guru Prajwal was very busy. And yet, it is not in our nature to let things die down. So we’re closing this year tantra-style.
So, first, as always, the calendar of activities. But we have an announcement to make.
We revamped everything in the site (with the help of the inimitable Charme) and now, everything’s streamlined!
To sign up to anything, it’s all in one site. No more fiddling around with Paypal, no more “send me the mail, I signed up afterwards”.
The way around is very simple:
· 1-Go to https://www.tantricsorcery.com/
· 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
Now, you don’t have to do it every month. It runs on its own until you cancel it.
So everything should be a lot easier now!
(thank you, Charme!)

PS: For those of you that are new
For those of you who are new, what are those P-s that we’re talking about?
P-s are the different levels of Paths that we have. Those are:
· P-1 is Intro to Buddhism. If you’re new to the Buddhadharma or Tibetan Buddhism, you should start at this point.
· P-2 is general Vajrayana. You learn Three deities, the four activities and all the rituals that you will need, from Ganacakras to specific Pujas.
· P-3 is advanced Vajrayana. You focus on completion-stage practice and yogas like Tummo and Dream Yoga. After P-3, you can choose to specialize as a ritualist (ngapka/ma) or go beyond and get in Lama training.
We have a video outlining the Path structure here.
So when we say a workshop is P-2+, we mean that is for people who already have the basis of Buddhism down (i.e. people who completed P-1) and are working at a tantric level. Same with P-1+ or P-3+. Open for all means just that. Anyone can come.
