Foundational Practices (Ngondro):
The Brilliant Basics of the Buddhist Path, Part I
Ongoing Registration
Available via Online only
Understanding, practicing, and absorbing the famous foundational practices (Ngondro) of Jigme Lingpa. Well-paced video lectures, in-person meetings, and audios of guided meditation.
The first half of this material is common to all Indian and Indian-based Buddhist traditions; the second half is uniquely Mahayana, providing key trainings of tantra and Dzogchen. We welcome everyone whatever your tradition.
The course gives you a rare opportunity to experience a unified stream of practices under the consistent guidance of the same teachers, Lamas Rigzin Drolma and Namgyal Dorje, for the duration of the course.
This multimedia program provides a coordinated sequence of video/podcast teachings and guided meditation audios, with live monthly support from the teachers, as well as a monthly peer support meeting. We will learn to explore for ourselves how tradition meets the issues of your everyday lives, preparing us to meet daily circumstances with an increasingly open, untroubled heart, while also being kind to ourselves and to others at the same time.
