The Ngondro Practice Group is for practitioners who participated in both the Ngondro Lung with Vajra Sangha/Anam Thubten, as well as the half-day retreat with our guiding teacher, Sunisa Manning. Ngondro is the preliminary practices to the Vajrayana, and requires a commitment to daily meditation. With ngondro, one enters the path of the tantrikas, those who study the tantric texts of the third vehicle of Buddhism.
