Ngondro: Teaching and Transmission

Week 1 | Sat. January 21st – Sun. January 22nd
Week 2 | Sat. January 28th – Sun. January 29th

from 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM EST

Simultaneous translation will be available in Spanish/Español and French/Francais for January 21st – 22nd.

Tempa Lama would like to begin this near year 2023 with a detailed
teaching and transmission of the Ngondro preliminary practices. This teaching will be on the Nine Preliminary Practice from Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud. This practice opens the door to all Bon practices of Tantra (Path of Transformation) and Dzogchen (Path of Self-Liberation). It is extremely important for all those who wish to learn and practice the spiritual path of liberation in the Bon tradition.

Bon Ngondro is the practice that opens our minds and heart toward realization on the Path of Transformation and the Path of Self-Realization. Ngondro is of tremendous benefit to our life. It helps us build a deeper connection with our spiritual teachers and cultivate the mind and heart of awakening, the motivation to benefit all beings. Ngondro is a powerful practice for purifying karmic tendencies and negativities. By cleansing our body, speech, and mind Ngondro prepares us to recognize our true nature.

Tempa Lama will explain and give the transmission for both the external and internal Ngondro practices.

Participants will receive:

• Recordings of Each Teaching
• Three (3) Necessary Handouts:
     – The Nine Breaths of Purification
     – Ngondro Liturgy
     – Hand Gestures and Seed Syllables of the Five Elements
