In our upcoming term we will begin an in depth study into Tantra, what in the west we have called alchemy.
Tantra is a vast and immersive topic. We will focus on two lineages the 11 Yogas of Vajrayogini and the 6 Yogas of Naropa.

Tantra works with the synchronisation of our 3 bodies.
It is driven by the power of the heart which we call bodhichitta.
It is created through the power of the Mind which we call generation stage.
It is realised through the power of energy which we call completion stage.
Through the harmonisation of the three bodies we break through (trekcho) to the Divine which we call Pristine Awareness.

The teachings we will be giving come from an unbroken lineage.

It is hoped that by engaging in an in-depth study of Vajrayogini we will gain an ability to comprehend all other tantras. Vajrayogini belongs to the class of tantra known as Highest Yoga Tantra. There are a number of these Tantras. Vajrayogini is noted for its simplicity and applicability of sadhana.

These practices are extremely blessed and profound.

Everyone is welcome to study Tantra with us. Traditionally the instructions were given in secret and only to those who received empowerment and commitments. However in the west we have a totally different psyche and it is inappropriate for us to blindly commit to a deep practice of Tantra without knowing what it is.

The requirements for study are an open mind, a good heart and a wish to benefit others through our knowledge and practice. There are many vows and commitments in the Buddhist canon. We condense these down to three essential qualities we aim to maintain.
1. Not to harm others.
2. To benefit others.
3. To see everything as sacred.

In tantra motivated by the supreme good heart of bodhichitta we seek to awaken our Buddha Nature here and now by developing great bliss. It is a path of joy, wonder, blessings and love. It is a great adventure for psychonauts into the true source of refuge, our own mind as the Divine.
