Dudjom Tersar Ngondro Vajrayana Foundation Ngondro Program Pema Osel Ling What is Ngöndro and why will you benefit? Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche (1) said in the introduction of his book "A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar" ~ As an example of the importance of the preliminary practices [Ngöndro], if someone wants to build a special house or temple, the most important part of the construction is the foundation in order for the building to be stable. Similarly, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche taught, “Ngöndro is called a preliminary practice because it lays a foundation for the two main stages of Vajrayana practice: the creation stage and the completion stage. Since it contains all paths to the realization of enlightenment, every effort should be made to complete the Ngöndro in order to fully cultivate and realize its profound benefits.” Ngöndro is the gateway to the advanced practices of Dzogchen, as well. The lamas of the Vajrayana Foundation have required students to finish their Ngöndro in order to participate in Rushen (a secret practice that comprises the Dzogchen preliminaries), the annual Trekchӧd (Cutting Through Solidity) teachings, and in other advanced practices at Pema Osel Ling. (1) Thinley Norbu Rinpoche or Dungsé Thinley Norbu (Tib. གདུང་སྲས་ཕྲིན་ལས་ནོར་བུ་, Wyl. gdung sras phrin las nor bu) (1931-2011) was a prominent modern teacher in the Nyingma lineage. As the eldest son of Dudjom Rinpoche, he was trained in Tibet and became a main Dudjom Tersar lineage holder. Recognized as an incarnation of Tulku Trimé Özer, one of seven sons of Dudjom Lingpa, he was also considered to be an emanation of Longchenpa. Having lived in Bhutan, he finally settled in New York (USA) where he gathered students. He authored many books in English. Among his sons are Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and Dungse Garab Rinpoche.
