Ngöndro
One-Month Retreat – The Ngöndro Practice at Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Mexico
To progress on the path towards primordial wisdom, it is essential to practice Ngöndro (the preliminary practices) extensively and deeply, as it constitutes the foundation for transforming our mind and becoming true practitioners.
Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche has instructed us to carry out this one-month retreat at Gomde Mexico as part of the inauguration of the first floor of the Thubten Kü̈nphen Ling Temple. He has emphasized the importance of gathering at least 100 participants for the retreat to take place.
The one-month Ngöndro retreat is a unique and transformative opportunity. Initially, this retreat was held exclusively for monastics. Soon after, some lay practitioners joined, and we opened the possibility for anyone interested to participate. Many have asked me why their practice is not effective. They mention a lack of diligence and how difficult it is for them to overcome laziness in order to practice. The answer is very clear: If we do not have a solid foundation in the practice of Ngöndro, any other practice we engage in will not be authentic. The Ngöndro practice will provide us with the confidence needed to commit to daily practice and not miss a single session. After a month of intense practice, one will engage in practice with great joy and truly understand its importance.
This will be the first time a Ngöndro retreat is held in Mexico!
It is essential to build the first floor of the Thubten Kü̈nphen Ling Temple in order to carry out this valuable retreat and gather at least 100 participants. Help us make this goal a reality!
