NGÖNDRO LAMRIM TRAINING (NLRT) - Year 1 Term 1

NGÖNDRO LAMRIM TRAINING (NLRT)

A Two-Year Journey in the Common and Uncommon Preliminary Practices, an excellent preparation for the FPMT In-Depth Meditation Training (IDMT)

Introduction

The Lamrim — "Stages of the Path" in Tibetan — is a systematic presentation of the entire Buddhist path to Awakening, written by the great Tibetan master Je Tsongkhapa in the 14th and early 15th century, based on writings of the Indian master Atisha. It arranges every essential teaching of the Buddha into a single, coherent, graduated sequence tailored to your mind, exactly as it is right now. Its true power lies not in study alone, but in practice. Each teaching is carefully arranged to meet the mind

where it is and guide it—step by step—toward genuine change.

The uncommon preliminary practices (ngöndro) are powerful methods to purify the mind and prepare it for lasting transformation.
