The Ngondro, sometimes called the “Preliminary Practice,” is crucial to every student of Bön. Through these practices we learn the essentials of inner transformation. Though the Ngondro is used to prepare ourselves for further, deeper teachings, it is also a complete path to enlightenment in itself. This course is of benefit to every Bön student, whether beginner or advanced.
