ONLINE-Ngondro Practice Group Part 1

led by Drubpon Rachel

Essential for Five Year Program participants
open for everybody, who is interested in starting the Ngondro

 

This practice group led by Drupon Rachel is a great way to get started on your Ngondro practice. The Ngondro or Preliminary Practices are the beginning of the Buddhist Path and include practices to ground you in the path, purify your body and mind for meditation, cultivate the proper conditions and the right mind states for success in practice. They are complete practices in themselves.  

Each lesson there will be instruction and guided practice by Drupon Rachel. There will be lessons where you can ask clarifying questions and individual interviews can be requested as needed to further your personal practice.
Participants must register for the entire section of one Ngondro practice (approx. 4 months) and should try to attend each week. One should be able to commit to practice at home at least 3 times a week for an hour as a minimum commitment to join this program. It will take two years to complete the full Ngondro including Refuge, Vajrasattva, Mandala, and Guru Yoga.
