However without it, it will be difficult.- The Ngondro is indispensable, without it you will have no foundation from which to hold your practice. A strong foundation is like having strong walls in a house, if you jump around from practice to practice and not focus on the Ngondro then your house will be weak and will eventually fall over.- Ngondro can help you realize emptiness or Dzogchenpo (The Great Perfection)- Gives you your daily empowerment to practice Ati Yoga (Dzogchen) practices.- Through the practice of the Ngondro, diligent and fortunate practitioners can achieve enlightenment after just six months of practice, the Ngondro covers all the fundamental yet essential preliminary practices that are necessary to enter the ultimate realization, etc.- Having a focused Ngondro practice will allow you to remember and see your past 3 lives.- You should treat this book as Dharma (the Buddha's teachings). And you should treat any form of Dharma with the most respect. Never touch it the ground, try to keep it in a high clean place, it is good to keep on your altar. After using it you can touch it to your 3rd eye to accumulate merit.

Book excerpt: Padma Rigdzin Ling Buddhist Temple www.padmarigdzinling.org RESTRICTED Please do not read or use this text unless you have received empowerment, transmission, or permission from a qualified teacher / lineage master. The Short Preliminary Practice of the Dzogchen Longchen Nyingtik Ngondro transmitted by Lama Jigme Namgyal Rinpoche. The Excellent Path to Omniscience: The Dzogchen Preliminary Practice of Longchen Nyingtik - This is the central Dharma text you will use if you are studying with Lama Jigme. When we take our first steps on the Path, we are not yet capable of helping others. To accomplish the good of others, we must first perfect ourselves, by purifying and transforming our minds. This is the aim of what we call the preliminary practices, which establish the foundations of all spiritual progress. You may feel like dispensing with these foundations in order to practice teachings that you think are more profound, but if you do so, you are building a palace on the surface of a frozen lake. Traditionally Ngondro practice is done for the enlightenment of the spiritual aspirant and for the benefit of all sentient beings. That is, the merit of doing the practices is dedicated to all sentient beings. The Benefits of the Longchen Nyingtik Ngondro: - Before you do something in your Dharma Practice, it is of the most importance to practice the Ngondro. Before you can accomplish any form of the 4 activities [Pacifying, Increasing, Magnetization or Subjugation] you have to finish your daily Ngondro. - You will gain realization through the 4 Empowerments in Guru Yoga, though this you will have the strength to benefit others. However without it, it will be difficult. - The Ngondro can help you realize emptiness or Dzogchenpo (The Great Perfection)- Gives you your daily empowerment to practice Ati Yoga (Dzogchen) practices. - Through the practice of the Ngondro, diligent and fortunate practitioners can achieve enlightenment after just six months of practice, the Ngondro covers all the fundamental yet essential preliminary practices that are necessary to enter the ultimate realization, etc. - Having a focused Ngondro practice will allow you to remember and see your past three lives. - You should treat this book as Dharma (the Buddha's teachings). And you should treat any form of Dharma with the most respect. Never touch it the ground, try to keep it in a high clean place, it is good to keep on your altar. After using it you can touch it to your crown to accumulate merit.

Download or read book Great Perfection written by Dzogchen Rinpoche and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, the Great Perfection is considered the most profound and direct path to enlightenment. The instructions of this tradition present a spiritual shortcut—a radically direct approach that cuts through confusion and lays bare the mind's true nature of luminous purity. For centuries, these teachings have been taught and practiced in secret by some of the greatest adepts of the Buddhist tradition. Great Perfection: Outer and Inner Preliminaries contains detailed instructions on the foundational practices of this tradition, from "The Excellent Chariot," a practice manual compiled by the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche. Distilling the teachings of the Heart Essence of the Dakinis into an accessible, easy-to-practice format, The Excellent Chariot leads the reader through the entire Buddhist path, starting with basic Buddhist contemplations that work to dislodge deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behaving, and continuing on to the most advanced and secret meditative practices of the Great Perfection. The teachings in this volume are drawn largely from the writings of the great Nyingma master Longchenpa and the root texts of the Heart Essence of the Dakinis itself. The Third Dzogchen Rinpoche begins by discussing the correct way to study and practice the Great Perfection teachings before presenting an overview of the Great Perfection lineage and an explanation on the meaning and importance of empowerment. In the chapters that follow, he presents practical instructions on the outer and inner preliminaries, the so-called "ngöndro" practices. These practices enable the practitioner to transform and purify the mind, preparing it for the advanced Great Perfection meditation of Trekchö and Tögal, the breakthrough and direct leap. In addition to the translation mentioned above, Great Perfection: Outer and Inner Preliminaries contains a beautiful introduction by the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, a contemporary Great Perfection master, and an extensive glossary of key Great Perfection terminology.
Download or read book Masters of Mahamudra written by Keith Dowman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-03-31 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tibetan Buddhism, Mahamudra represents a perfected level of meditative realization: it is the inseparable union of wisdom and compassion, of emptiness and skillful means. These eighty-four masters, some historical, some archetypal, accomplished this practice in India where they lived between the eighth and twelfth centuries. Leading unconventional lives, the siddhas include some of the greatest Buddhist teachers; Tilopa, Naropa, and Marpa among them. Through many years of study, Keith Dowman has collected and translated their songs of realization and the legends about them. In consultation with contemporary teachers, he gives a commentary on each of the Great Adepts and culls from available resources what we can know of their history. Dowman's extensive Introduction traces the development of tantra and discusses the key concepts of the Mahamudra. In a lively and illuminating style, he unfolds the deeper understandings of mind that the texts encode. His treatment of the many parallels to contemporary psychology and experience makes a valualbe contribution to our understanding of human nature.

Download or read book Lion of Speech written by Dilgo Khyentse and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A traditional biography on the life of Mipham Rinpoche--one of the greatest 19th-century masters--from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, one of the greatest 20th-century masters. The first half of this volume comprises the first-ever English translation of the biography of Mipham Rinpoche written by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, a teacher to His Holiness the Dalai Lama as well as an entire generation of other teachers and students throughout the Himalayan region and the West. Composed in 1939, it was left behind in Tibet in 1959 when Khyentse Rinpoche went into exile and was lost for fifty-one years before its discovery in 2010 by an extraordinary stroke of good luck. Reverential in tone, it is informed by both oral accounts preserved in notes kept by Khyentse Rinpoche's elder brother and the recollections of Mipham's devoted personal attendant of thirty-seven years. In keeping with the identification of Mipham as an emanation of Manjushri, the lion of speech, the second half comprises a selection of Mipham's writings, designed to give the reader an experience of Mipham's eloquent speech and incisive thought. It includes both a new translation of The Lion's Roar: A Comprehensive Discourse on the Buddha-Nature and A Lamp to Dispel the Dark, a teaching of the Great Perfection, as well as excerpts from previously published translations of his works on Madhyamaka and tantra.
