(Online) Kagyu Ngöndro Intensive

Please join us online for the Kagyu Ngöndro Intensive being held at Dorje Denma Ling. This is a rare opportunity for those engaged in the preliminary practices to enjoy the support and companionship of fellow sangha members, and share their practice the way our root gurus have heartily encouraged us to do.

The online option of the Kagyu Ngöndro Intensive will include a rich mix of activities including two daily ngöndro sessions, talks by the leaders, and discussion groups.  Larry Mermelstein  and the Dorje Loppön Lodrö Dorje and will each offer a talk during the program–on July 29th and July 31st respectively.

Who Should Attend

This intensive is open to those who have authorization to practice the Kagyu ngöndro and pointing out instruction from a qualified teacher.

This retreat is designed for practitioners of the Kagyu ngöndro who would like to deepen their understanding of the practice and work towards completing their commitments, whether by numbers or time. The retreat might be particularly helpful for those who have not had the opportunity to practice ngöndro with others and share learnings and encouragement because of remote geography and the challenges of Covid.

If you have any questions about your eligibility, please email the Program Manager at programs@dorjedenmaling.com.

Prerequisites

This program is limited to practitioners who have been authorized to practice the Kagyu ngöndro and who have received the pointing out instruction from a qualified teacher.
