"The Ngondro, or Preliminary, practices in Tibetan Buddhism establish the foundation for the entire Vajrayana paththey are as fundamental to the practitioner's development as the alphabet is to written language. Among the preliminaries of the various lineages, the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro of the Nyingma tradition is possibly the most concise. Written, then concealed in the eighth century by Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), it was intended for these degenerate times when few people have leisure to practice. His Holiness Dudjom Lingpa revealed this treasure; his incarnation, His Holiness Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, from whom I had the excellent fortune to receive these teachings, clarified the text and taught it widely.
"The Dudjom Tersar Ngondro is an extremely powerful practice for turning the mind toward dharma, for purifying obscurations, and for bringing forth the qualities of realization. It enhances devotion to the dharma and receptivity to the highest level of teachings, the Great Perfection. For practitioners with receptive minds, the Great Perfection - perspective can evolve from Ngondro itself. The Dudjom Tersar Ngondrosuccinct, unelaborate, and grounded in guru yogaprovides a superb means of opening the door to the nature of mind."His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche
"The essence of the Buddhadharma is realized most swiftly through the practice of Dzogchen, the Great Perfection. Through guru yoga, the life force of the ngondro, true understanding of Dzogchen awakens in one's being. With a heart of pure samaya, having practiced guru yoga as Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche's wife and devoted student for more than seventeen years, Jane Tromge has compiled here the essential points of his oral ngondro teachings with the wish that the dharma flourish for generations to come."Lama Drimed Norbu, Spiritual Director of Chagdud Gonpa Foundation
