Practice 2.1 — THE SIX PRELIMINARY ( preparatory) THE SIX PRELIMINARY PRACTICES OF TIBETAN BUDDHISM *** PRACTICE 2

12/02/2025

Dear Dharma friends from near and far,

The Six Preliminary Practices are an essential foundation on the spiritual path, just like the solid base that allows a house to stand firmly. Without proper preparation, later practices cannot become deep or truly effective.

Cleaning the practice space, setting up pure offerings, settling into meditation, visualizing the field of merit, engaging in the Seven-Branch Practice and offering the Mandala, and finally generating heartfelt prayers — these are more than rituals. They are a process of purifying body and mind, opening the door to wisdom and compassion.

When these six steps are practiced correctly, the mind becomes gentle, self-grasping diminishes, and both merit and wisdom naturally increase. This foundation supports all practices that follow.

In addition to providing guidance at the temple, Ani Dechen will gradually share these teachings on social media so that those with karmic connection may study and practice. We encourage Dharma friends to spend five minutes each morning and evening meditating and reflecting on what you have learned and found beneficial.

May we all cherish this essential foundation and apply it diligently each day, so that the path to liberation may open wide from the very first steps.

Namo Shakyamuni Buddha.
