Production information
In the Tibetan tradition, the foundational practices, known in Tibet as ngondro, are used to prepare the mind for the spiritual path. These meditations have been taught for centuries, handed down from teacher to student in an unbroken lineage of practice.
The foundational practices cover the core elements of the Buddhas teachings. Ngondro: The Foundational Practices of Tibetan Buddhism presents in-depth teachings on these essential meditations by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.
Included here are Mingyur Rinpoches explanations of the second part of these practices, known as the inner ngondro, or unique ngondro. The inner ngondro contains a series of four meditative practices: refuge and bodhichitta, the mantra and visualization of Vajrasattva, mandala offering, and guru yoga. These meditations purify destructive patterns and obscurations, and help the practitioner connect directly with the enlightened qualities of buddha nature.
Born in 1975 in Nepal, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a rising star among the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters trained outside of Tibet. He is a highly venerated teacher and master of the Karma Kagyu lineage who was recognized as a tulku by both the 16th Karmapa and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. At the unusually young age of 13, Ripoche entered a traditional three-year retreat and at age 17 was asked by Tai Situ Rinpoche to undertake a second three-year retreat and serve as it's retreat master. At age 20, Situ Rinpoche asked Mingyur Rinpoche to oversee and teach at a new monastic university at Sherab Ling Monastery in India. His youthful appearance and young age belies his vast knowledge and wisdom of the buddha dharma. Rinpoche has one-pointedly devoted his entire life to the study, practice and teaching of the dharma and he has accomplished tremendous benefit for beings in this lifetime. He teaches actively in the West and is known for his remarkable ability to convey the buddhist teachings in a clear and skillful manner. Learn more about Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche at www.mingyur.org.
