Dzogchen Ngon-dro Gu

Retreat

Teachings given by Lama Khemsar Rinpoche

.

Retreat at Avebury, October 2008

As Rinpoche has repeatedly stated, the Dzog-chen Ngon-dro retreat always covers so much more than the basic focus, as the garden of Dzogchen Ngondro is so rich and the implications for our understanding are so very deep, exponentially so with each repeat attendance and our further practicing.

Regarding the Dog-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…….!!!!”

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 Dzogchen 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.
