This past weekend, October 25–26, we held a course on the Dance of the Three Vajras in Seville, taught by our dear instructor Sachiko Fullita. It was the first time we opened the Mandala in this city, and it turned out to be a truly meaningful event.
We’re lucky to have many talented instructors in the community, so we began shaping this project around that strength. Although it took some time to get the marketing off the ground, since last year things have really started to bloom.
In 1995, I happened to pick up a Japanese translation of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s book “Wisdom of Dzogchen” and thought I wanted to meet him in my lifetime.

Since those distant days, Yantra Yoga – one of the first practices taught by Rinpoche – continues to be one of the main gateways to the Teaching and remains an invaluable tool capable of bringing benefit and relief to many in this corrupted age, where stress, discomfort, and confusion are increasingly widespread, and Yoga is often reduced to yet another business.
Oni taught the preliminary exercises and all five series of yantras, including the first to fourth series in both first and second variations. She also taught all five pranayamas. The teaching was comprehensive and integrated, respecting the diverse levels and physical conditions of the participants. At the same time, it challenged each of us to go beyond our limits and deepen our personal practice. Oni is an outstanding teacher, whom we hold in deep respect.
