Ngondro is an indispensable and necessary practice for anyone who truly wishes to become a pure Dharma practitioner. There are many different ngondro practice texts of varying lengths. This Ngondro text is compiled by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje from the revelations of Dudjom Lingpa. It is very special because it carries the profound power and blessings of the lineage. It is a perfect length, not too long and not too short, and especially fitting for the present day. It contains the blessing-filled words of the former and later Dudjom.
To tame your mind and make this life meaningful, then you must have ngondro practice.
