Previous attendees of the Dudjom Ngondro retreat often highlight the transformative impact of the experience. Many describe feeling a deep sense of connection to the teachings and the sangha, which fosters a supportive and nurturing environment. Participants frequently mention the authenticity of the guidance provided by the lamas and the immersive nature of the retreat, which helps them deepen their practice and understanding of Ngondro.

One attendee shared that the retreat helped them overcome personal obstacles in their spiritual journey, while another expressed gratitude for the opportunity to receive direct transmissions and teachings in such a serene setting. The sense of community and shared purpose is often praised, as it creates a space for mutual encouragement and growth.

“As a Ngöndro practitioner, I highly recommend attending the Vajrayana Foundation’s Ngöndro Retreat. Since I started my Ngöndro practice at the end of 2019, I have been attending this retreat every year, initially online during the pandemic and later in person. Being at Pema Ösel Ling, connecting with the Lamas and the Sangha, is a powerful experience.”
