Path of Liberation ~ Ngöndro Practice Retreat

A Half-Day Retreat with Tergar Instructor Edwin Kelley
April 25, 2015
In this half-day retreat we will review the second of the unique preliminary practices of ngöndro, Vajrasattva. The day will include watching video excerpts from Mingyur Rinpoche's ngöndro teaching, group practice, discussion, and clarifications on the practices with Tergar instructor Edwin Kelley.

This retreat is open to those who have attended Path of Liberation retreats with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, or Khenpo Kunga (Tergar Winter POL retreats) and who have received the appropriate transmissions to begin the preliminary practices. If you are unsure if you meet the qualifications, please email mspevents@tergar.org

The Path of Liberation is an experiential path of meditation for those who wish to practice the Buddhist teachings under the guidance of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Encompassing the most important practices of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, and building on the foundational teachings of the Joy of Living, the Path of Liberation presents a series of meditation techniques designed to strip away the causes of suffering and uncover the radiant awareness that underlies all experience.
