Monthly Dzogchen Ngondro Teaching and Practice
With Chaphur Rinpoche
Every second Saturday of the month 4PM-5PM (PST) Pacific Time
Dearest Bönpo Dzogchen friends! Chaphur Rinpoche will be giving teachings and guidance on Dzogchen Ngondro (the preliminary practices) once a month through ZOOM. While these teachings are useful for any level of practitioner, Rinpoche feels they are especially important for anyone who has not yet completed his or her first Ngondro.
As many of you know, Ngondro is the authentic starting point for Bönpo Dzogchen teachings. If you want to build a house, you need to prepare the ground; then build a strong foundation so that the house will last a long time. Ngondro is that ground and foundation.
It includes practices to tame, purify and ripen the mind of the practitioner – to make one ready and suitable to receive and practice Dzogchen.
