Ngöndro Practice at PBDC
Palm Beach Dharma Center LLC, 1205 N Federal Hwy, Lake Worth, FL, USNgöndro refers to the preliminary or foundation practices of Vajrayana Buddhism. Although they are known as preliminary, the Ngöndro foundational practices do not mean "lesser." The practices of Ngöndro are a complete practice of the spiritual path.
Everyone is welcome.
Saturdays at PBDC
10:00 - 11:30 AMPBDC is excited to announce the return of the Ngöndro practice! This foundational practice, known as “preliminary practice”, beautifully combines skillful means and wisdom. According to our teacher, Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche, beginning Ngöndro “is like smoothing a ploughed field to make ready for sowing.”
Ngöndro is a condensed form of the Buddha’s entire teachings, incorporating the wisdom of Guru Padmasambhava and many other lineage masters.The practice will involve the recitation of the Ngöndro and the accumulation practices. It is suitable for beginners on the path, as well as for seasoned students.
While we invite all students to join, we highly encourage everyone to meet with Rinpoche for direct instruction on this profound and transformative practice.

@ 10:00 am EST“The extent of joy in your heart and the joy you bring to others will always be dependent upon the extent to which your mind is motivated by loving-kindness and compassion. This is the point of view shared by all human beings, not just dharma practitioners. It is the most important standard by which we all judge one another. It is the essential practice of dharma as taught by the Buddhas. Compassion and loving-kindness, based upon emptiness - that is the condensed heart practice of the Prajnaparamita.”
