What Makes Us Different?

Samaya is the lifeblood of our lineage and kula. We strictly follow the historical instructions given by Padmasambhava: Every Vajrayana empowerment given must include all three elements of abhishek, agama and upadesha. Detailed explanations of the origin of a practice and how to practice the sadhana as well as a copy of the sadhana are always given along with the empowerment. If you put in the work you will be able to receive further instructions for the four activities after completing the required mantra accumulation. No student will come away from an empowerment feeling lost as to how to proceed, support and guidance will always be available.

Our Events

Why Do We Practice?

We practice to lead all beings to liberation and overturn worldly suffering through the compassionate and skillful practice of sorcery. We want to see any many Vidyadharas/Mahasiddhas arise in this lifetime as possible. Beings all over the world live in poverty, illness, discrimination and violence – and it is our mission as buddhas-in-training to bring healing and peace. We see social injustice, suffering and oppression as sites of struggle that we transform through our practice.

Why are we not Buddhas yet?

An investigation into time, metrics, and practice By Lama Federico Andino (from a talk on Turning the Wheel of Dharma) The Fake Mala and the Awkward Question I was recently at a family gathering. My mother, trying to start a conversation with a gentleman of Chinese origin, proudly mentioned that her son—that is, me—was Buddhist. The gentleman, very serious, looked at me and flatly denied any such possibility. "No, he can't be a Buddhist," he declared. "First, I saw him eating

The Lifeblood of the Practice

The other day, I was talking to Benson. (You probably know Benson. Teacher, Yogi, LGBTI+ activist, all around wonderful) He is practicing the Hekate Upadesha that was revealed last year, and he asked me a significant question: What is the difference in blessings? Why is there such a different in effect, impact, blessings from this Upadesha to others? And the answer, of course, is Samaya. Samaya, you see, is what carries the blessings of the Dakinis and Protectors that reveal

An Overview of Rime Bon

Tonpa Sherab Appears from Olmo Lungring to Expound the Nine Ways 1 Introduction The history of Bon teachings are vast, and so are the complexities by which they came into the Rime, consisting of large categories of teachings.

The Waystation: Navigating the Bardo of the Thunderbolt

The System’s Collapse and the Logic of Accelerated Transformation We are living through a time of profound and accelerating change. The Vajrayāna—the “Diamond Thunderbolt” path—embodies this very quality: a vehicle of urgency, transformation, and direct engagement. It is not a slow evolution, but an immediate illumination that calls for active participation in the unfolding of reality. Reality itself is never static. It constantly dissolves and reforms, demanding that our per

An Oral History of the Mara Roast 2025 in Portland

By Lama Fede Dallas, last days of September. Saturday. Clearly, Autum hadn’t got the call, and the heat was on. I was at a bar where they played (American) football. I was on a layover, having been on the worst connecting flight ever(tm), almost two days to reach a place 16 hours away from my home. There were two kinds of people in the bar: the servers were all young, all beautiful with the beauty that having almost no money but a lot of dreams brings. The kind that makes hav
