is to build an understanding of the Mahayoga view of Vajrayana. This class is a prerequisite for
TAN104. Students who will be taking TAN104 next year must take this class. This class is
restricted to students who have received ngondro teachings, and either have completed
ngondro, or be actively accumulating; and received the deity empowerment.
