DZOG-CHEN (Aa-trid Kaloong Gyatso) NGON-DRO

Foundation Teachings

Lama Khemsar Rinpoche

Only available to those students who attended the particular Retreats (or who have received during One to Ones with Rinpoche) and as such, who received full Wang (empowerment), Loong (transmission) and Trid (instruction) from Rinpoche.

Regarding the Bon Zog-chen Ngon-dro, Rinpoche advised that this is the foundation upon which all the other teachings are built and that it therefore stands to reason that we must ensure that our foundations are strong – otherwise “It would be like building a house on a frozen lake. When the ice melts…….!!!!”

Regarding the function of Ngon-dro in relation to more advanced teachings, Rinpoche advised that traditionally, the more advanced teachings are only imparted to those whose mind-streams are sufficiently ripened to benefit from them, since there is no point in pouring clean / clear water into a dirty or cracked vessel where it is likely to be sullied or leak out. This is where Ngon-dro comes into play as a means to help purify and seal the vessel – thus helping the student prepare the mind and clear away obscurations which could impede further progress.

Rinpoche stresses that, in his opinion, without having received and practised Ngon-dro, he feels that it would be like casting seeds on stony ground. Ngon-dro teachings basically serve to plough and fertilise the field in readiness for the seeds to be sown, to grow to fruition and for the harvest to be reaped.

Chanted by Lama Khemsar Rinpoche, with students at Retreat in Newmains, UK.
