SUMMARY:Ngöndro Practice Retreats
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=".vc_custom_1637756629175{margin-right: 2% !important;margin-left: 2% !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nNgöndro Practice Retreats\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]Through her great generosity\, Lama Tsering has provided the opportunity for practitioners of the Ngöndro\, the preliminary practices of Tibetan Buddhism\, to perform their accumulations at Odsal Ling Temple one weekend per month\, divided into 3 daily practice sessions. \nThe Ngöndro practice sessions will be organized as follows (UTC-3)\n• Session 1: 9 am to 12 pm\n• Session 2: 2 pm to 4.30 pm\n• Session 3: 7 pm to 9:00 pm \nEach person will do their own accumulation\, but the idea of group practice is to give and receive the support of the sangha. The presence of the sangha\, committed to the same path\, helps to inspire us and remind us of the precious Ngöndro teachings received from Lama Tsering and other masters. \nPlease note: this is a practice retreat. There will be no teachings. \nPre-register using the form below.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][vc_cta h2="" style="custom" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-exclamation" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="custom" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true" i_custom_background_color="#d14d42"] \nPrerequisites\nOne must have previously received teachings on Ngondro.[/vc_cta][vc_cta h2="" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-calendar-alt" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_on_border="true"]Dates (subject to change) \n\nMarch 8 and 9[/vc_cta][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-pen" add_icon="true" title="Pre-registration" tab_id="1678745258977-010740c2-4518"][vc_column_text]Are there any prerequisites for taking part?\nYes\, having already been taught and doing Ngöndro. \nHow do I register?\nYou need to pre-register using the form on the pre-registration tab by 12 noon on the Wednesday before the weekend of practice. \nDo I have to attend every day?\nNo. You can come on the days and practice sessions that best suit your schedule.
