At all Times

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

“At all times, do not lose courage in your inner awareness; uplift yourself, while assuming a humble position in your outer demeanor. Follow the example of the life and complete liberation of previous accomplished masters (siddha). Do not blame your past karma; instead, be someone who purely and flawlessly practices the dharma. Do not blame temporary negative circumstances; instead, be someone who remains steadfast in the face of whatever circumstances may arise.”

Wisdom Nectar: Dudjom Rinpoche’s Heart Advice, p. 58 The Tsadra Foundation Series published by Snow Lion Publications

With folded hands, we dedicate the virtue from our
practice in 2025 to all sentient beings.

Entering 2026 with Dudjom Ngondro

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Looking back at 2025, Ngondro quietly carried us—not just as a practice, but as a way of showing up each day. For a lot of us, Ngondro became something steady and lived. As Lama Tharchin Rinpoche would say, “Something to return to again and again.”

In the Dudjom tradition, Ngondro teaches simple, sacred habits:, humility through prostrations, release through Vajrasattva, generosity through mandala offering, and trust through guru yoga.

As we move into 2026, May these habits begin to follow us off the cushion—softening the heart, steadying the mind, and reminding us of refuge when life feels uncertain.

Ngondro doesn’t ask for perfection—only sincerity and return. Step by step it continues to shape our lives in quiet, lasting ways. With gratitude for all that 2025 ripened,

Let’s continue into 2026, held by the blessings of the Dudjom Lineage and the path we walk together. 💕
