The Vajrayana Preliminary Practices of the Brief Dudjom Tersar Ngöndro with Patrick Gaffney
How can we bring the profound wisdom of the teachings of the Buddha into our own experience? In this Live Sangha Day, guided by senior teacher Patrick Gaffney, we will learn about the Brief Dudjom Tersar Ngöndro, which belongs to one of the practice traditions held most dearly by Sogyal Rinpoche and by the Rigpa Sangha. Patrick will share the story of why and how this practice has become such an important part of our path. We are also very excited to announce that Patrick has kindly agreed to give the reading transmission (lung) of the Brief Dudjom Tersar Ngöndro in English and Tibetan to all who attend.
The talk will be given in English, with translations into French, German, Italian and Spanish.
