Ngondro means foundation in Tibetan, and in the particular Dudjom Tersar tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism practiced at Tashi Choling, doing the “ngondro" means learning the core practices which provide a foundation for the entire path to enlightenment.

We are offering a free drop in Ngondro Practice group every Sunday at 1 pm starting July 5th. We will practice the the Dudjom Tersar Concise Ngondro together.

✨Please join us tomorrow (Friday) September 4th from 6:00-7:15pm PST in person at Dechen Ling or online via zoom for PRAYERS FOR THE WORLD hosted by Ila Reitz.✨

As we daily receive news of the turmoil and sufferings in our world, it is easy to feel hopeless and helpless in the face of them. The teachings of the dharma can help us both understand these disturbed times and give us powerful methods to be able to do our part to alleviate them–not only to ease our own immediate distress but also to contribute to balance and harmony on every level in our world.

One of the most potent methods is to invoke the all-pervasive kindness and compassion of Guru Rinpoche through mantra and other recitations. Guru Rinpoche was an unsurpassed master who lived around the 8th century and is particularly known for his focus on bringing benefit not only to those in his own time but also to us–the beings in the tumultuous times he foresaw in the centuries ahead. Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche said: “All beings are suffering because of their ignorance. Pray to Guru Rinpoche to help with your suffering and all of their suffering. None of them are different from you.”

In the spirit of this instruction, we invite you to join us in a simple meditation and chanting practice to connect with Guru Rinpoche, that we might generate good energy and merit to offer to all beings of the world.
