The request for the Ngondro Transmission was made by the Chinese Group. The request for a teaching on the Ngondro was made by the Vietnamese community. Rinpoche has kindly agreed to both requests.

Oral Transmission
The traditional text for the Jonang Kalachakra Ngondro is the Divine Ladder by Jetsun Taranatha. Rinpoche will bestow the complete transmission of the text and the supplementary Guru Yogas.
This text is available in the Profound Path of Vajra Yoga Practice Book.
This text is also available in the Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path, a Word-by-Word Commentary by Khentrul Rinpoche.

Short Teaching
In this short teaching Rinpoche will focus on how we can connect our heart to the practice of the Ngondro.

Make an offering of Dana to Khentrul Rinpoche
