2024 Year in Review

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re so grateful that the Vajrayana Foundation Dudjom Ngondro Program was your connection for Practice in 2024.

2024 Year in Review

  • The Annual Ngondro Retreat with Sam Bercholz offered teachings titled The View that Liberates All, drawing upon Kyabje Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche’s commentary, A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar.

  • We received the blessing of the Dudjom Lingpa Vajrayogini Empowerment from Tulku Thadral Rinpoche, along with a Refuge Hair Cutting and Naming Ceremony, followed by the Bodhisattva Vow and an oral reading transmission of both the Dudjom Tersar and Dudjom Troma Ngondro.
  • We began support for Dudjom Lingpa Troma Ngondro practitioners providing the same support as Dudjom Tersar Ngondro.
  • The Dudjom Ngondro Podcast was launched on multiple platforms with “How to Meditate with Confidence” teachings by Tulku Thadral Rinpoche.

 

 

“Buddhism teaches that enlightenment is our natural state; the problem is that
we do not recognize this state,
owing to the mind’s confusion
about its true nature.”

~ Samuel Bercholz

Dudjom Study/Discussion Group

Private Monthly Ngondro Event for the Dudjom Ngondro Program Participants. Join the Dudjom Ngondro Study ~ Discussion Group with Stefan Graves and guest speakers based on  “A Commentary on the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche”.

We are excited to present a new opportunity for the Dudjom Ngondro Program Participants. Beginning January 2025, we are starting a monthly Dudjom Ngondro Study ~ Discussion Group. The group will be led by Stefan Graves and invited guests. The focus of the group will be to explore, investigate and refine our understanding of basic dharma in daily life and how building community can support our practice. Although the Lama Tharchin Rinpcohe’s commentary focuses on the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro, the group’s discussion is intended to be relevant for anyone practicing any Ngondro.
