Yeah, after concluding a 3 year course in Nyingma Buddhist Mysticism last year?

I paid for, yet did not attend the two 3 day in person seminars, wherein apparently I would have been ordained as a Buddhist Priest?

I dug the class! I've been training and studying under that Sifu since the early 1990s. Doubtlessly, the ordination is part of his lineage to Shaolin in his myriad masteries of various schools of wuxei.

I expressed interest in registering for his next course in Daoism, which has been postponed and rescheduled for next year sometime? I've been a, somewhat deliquent student of a seven year course in Daoist Magic taught by one of his senior students in past years.

I'm not studying any of this to be a bigger Boy Scout. I do not need nor want any merit badges and tend to eschew credentials and "professional" certifications as well.

Life long learner? Sure!

Becoming a cog in a bigger organization, which has branches making incredibly unsavory headlines? I'll, pass.
