*And that's not the whole lot of them...*

This May, 2025, we're literally exploding with events.

We have a special thing to announce, which many of you will already be aware of, but first let’s get the usual out of the way:

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. 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.

Special Announcements

Ok, so we have many, many things to announce.

Regarding the Mara Roast; all the scholarships are taken!

If you had applied, you should have either an acceptance mail or a rejection mail (with an explanation of why). But there are no more scolarship slots available.

Remember that you can find out more and join here.

Our New Center

The big announcement is that we have a new center! Yes, we've opened the TRC Buenos Aires (called the Narayan Center). Due to everyone's effort, this center will be a place for anyone who wants to practice.

We'll aim to have weekly practices and teachings there (in Spanish, with English subtitles).

Also, we'll have this month a lot of activities.
