Lama Tharchin Rinpoche ~ Vimeo: The Significance of Ngondro …

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Last week, we posted Lama Tharchin Rinpoche’s audio file of this teaching, “The Significance of Ngondro and the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind.“

Today, we want to share a Vimeo transmission.
Enjoy this teaching on video.

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche gives an introduction to Ngöndro (the preliminary practices of the Vajrayana) and an explanation of the four thoughts that turn the mind towards the dharma. Rinpoche began this teaching as part of an extended series on Ngöndro, but due to health problems, was able to give only this single teaching from 2007. Rinpoche continued teaching on the concise Dudjom Tersar Ngöndro in 2008 with Heart Teachings Series 19: Dudjom Tersar Ngöndro Teachings by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, DVD $15

This teaching is available as free download video mp4 or audio mp3 on

Guru Rinpoche arrives in central Tibet and subdues all the hostile negative forces. He founds the great monastery of Chökhor Palgyi Samyé, lights the lamp of the holy Dharma of the sutra and mantra teachings, and guides his twenty-five disciples and the King to liberation. He is known as Padmasambhava.
