5.0 out of 5 stars Best guide to practicing Ngondro of Karma Kagyu tradition, December 8, 2009

This review is from: Ngondro: Karma Kagyu Preliminaries (DVD)

This DVD has helped me greatly with understanding how to practice the four extraordinary foundations of the Karma Kagyu lineage. The clips are so precise you are tempted to just start on your own if you are to watch this DVD. But as all teachers and practitioners in the past have done it, it is absolutely necessary to first find a teacher, receive an empowerment, oral transmission and teachings before starting the practice. Once you have all these the DVD and a great book that goes along with the DVD "The Torch of Certainty" will guide you all the way through.

This review is from: Ngondro: Karma Kagyu Preliminaries (DVD)

If you don't have a Guru, Lama, Master near you, then this DVD is ideal because it replaces him. The Ngöndro practices are very important to introduce you to the very practice of Mahamudra and introduce you to the nature of your mind. It is full of explanations and you realize how to do the practices correctly.
