There are prerequisites for this group.
This is a vajrayana study course. We will explore talks that Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, as well as other teachers, gave to new tantrikas beginning their prostration practice. These classes will explore subjects that are foundational to our understanding of the Vajrayana path, such as renunciation, devotion and samaya, as well as how the Hinayana and Mahayana paths are integral to the Tantric path. The course will include practical instructions for those embarking on ngöndro, or the Preliminary Practices.
