H.E. Lhatse Tulku Rinpoche will be giving the Ngondro teaching from 12 to 22 April plus Vajrasattva, Guru Padmasambhava and Vajrayogini initiations.Ngondro is a collection of practices known as "The Four Foundations" [sometimes also called the Preliminary Practices].These practices form the fundamental ground for all Tibetan Buddhist practice and for higher Dzogchen practice. As the foundation of the teachings of the Buddha Dharma, Ngondro consists of contemplation, insight, purification, offering and devotion practices.
First are what is known as the outer preliminaries which turn the mind towards the practice through contemplating the preciousness of human birth, impermanence, suffering, how cause and effect ("karma") work, and so on. Anyone Buddhist or not can practice the outer preliminaries. Second, are the inner preliminaries. This includes Refuge and Bodhicitta (loving-kindness practice), the Mandala Offering, Vajrasattva Purification, and Guru Yoga. Traditionally the student needs to complete 100,000 repetitions of each part of these preliminaries although the master may require more or less as the teacher judges from the student's capacity.
