Ngondro Practice

PREREQUISITE FOR THIS EVENT: DEEPER LAMRIM COURSE (Completed or in Process of Completing)

IN PERSON or ONLINE

Les Kertay (Lobsang Tharchin) will be the guide for this event, which will include meditation and brief teachings about Ngondro practice. As a prerequisite, we ask that you follow the Deeper Lamrim course, or that you have already studied Lamrim.

Buddhist Teachings are of 2 categories : Sutras and Mantras. The fundamental Buddhist teachings are explained in the Sutras. They are essential for anyone who wants to practice Buddhist philosophy and achieve more happiness. Mantra teachings are deeper and require a good understanding and integration of Sutra teachings. One also needs to prepare for Mantra teachings and enter the Vajrayana by becoming familiar with the Ngondros (preparatory practices). These will be briefly explained and practiced during this session.
