Preliminaries (Ngöndro)

The Dudjom Tersar ngöndro is a traditional set of preliminary practices from the lineage of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche’s mind treasures. The ngöndro focuses on contemplation, prayer, visualization, meditation and accumulation of the five main aspects of all ngöndro practices: refuge, bodhicitta, mandala offering, Vajrasattva purification practice and Guru Yoga. Senior student Mat Small was authorized by Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche to teach and guide students in the study of these preliminaries. Mat holds small, personable classes for students of all ages and occasionally leads a ngöndro retreat for more in-depth practice. For information call him at 541-821-7659.
