Ngondro-Related Practice Items from Dharma Treasures
Lama Sonam Rinpoche will give Oral Transmissions (lungs)
for the Concise and Sater Ngondros
March 29, March 31 & April 3.
Ngondro, the preliminary or foundational practices of Vajrayana Buddhism, is a profound and powerful means of affecting transformation through purification and the vast accumulation of merit.
"If there are any wise persons who desire to be completely freed
From the hot torments of the fire pit of samsara, they should
Rely on this supreme path, Ngondro, which, like the king of trees,
Will revive one in its cool, dense shade, enlightenment."
---His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche
The first weekend, March 27-28, features teachings by Sam Bercholz, senior student of many Nyingma and Kagyu lineage holders, including root lamas Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, who personally authorized him to teach. Sam is calling the weekend, Purifying and Transforming our Minds. The teachings will include commentary on Dungse Rinpoche's A Cascading Waterfall Of Nectar, as well as Sam's personal dharma stories. Sam requests that each participant have a copy of A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar, available at Dharma Treasures.
The retreat will continue with Ngondro commentary and practice instruction with Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche and Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche's senior student, Amy Green, March 29 - April 4.
