Tsoknyi Rinpoche & ngondro
Does anyone know which ngondro Tsoknyi Rinpoche teaches?

Could be the short Chokling Tersar Ngondro. If it is important I can find out.Hayagriva wrote:Does anyone know which ngondro Tsoknyi Rinpoche teaches?

I'm a student of his and would like to do it, so if you could find out I would be very grateful.

Re: Tsoknyi Rinpoche & ngondro
Tsoknyi Rinpoche is really great. I email a friend, we will see. Anyway, you need "lung" and some instructions to start. At least that is the normal procedural.Hayagriva wrote:I thought it might be one from the Chokling Tersar.heart wrote:Could be the short Chokling Tersar Ngondro.

Re: Tsoknyi Rinpoche & ngondro
I have a Vajrasattva empowerment from Mingyur Rinpoche which was given in a ngondro related set of teachings, so I presume that's not something that will need to be repeated.heart wrote: Tsoknyi Rinpoche is really great.

I'll need lung and instructions, but I'll ask him for them/where to get them before we meet next.
Thanks for your help.

You did the "path of liberation part 1"? If it was in Copenhagen I was there. He gave the Sangtig Dorsem empowerment, a vajrasttva practice from the Chokling tersar.Hayagriva wrote:I have a Vajrasattva empowerment from Mingyur Rinpoche which was given in a ngondro related set of teachings, so I presume that's not something that will need to be repeated.heart wrote: Tsoknyi Rinpoche is really great.

"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

Re: Tsoknyi Rinpoche & ngondro
Seems like the Tukdrup Barche Kunsel Ngondro was the one he used to give. It is the one I mentioned before.

Re: Tsoknyi Rinpoche & ngondro
Yeah, I think it's the Barchey Kunsel Preliminaries. There are different length preliminaries associated with this cycle (long, middling, and short). In addition, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche arranged an even more condensed version of the short prelims. There is a commentary on it by Tsoknyi Rinpoche translated by Tony Duff: Commentary on the Barchay Kunsel Condensed Preliminaries of the Chogling Tersar.Hayagriva wrote:Does anyone know which ngondro Tsoknyi Rinpoche teaches?
There is also Tony Duff's translation of the The Drukpa Kagyu Mahamudra Preliminary Practices by Khamtrul III, Kunga Tenzin, translated at the request of Tsoknyi Rinpoche.
All the best,
Geoff
Re: Tsoknyi Rinpoche & ngondro
Thanks both, that's really good information. I'll be seeing him this spring so I'll see if there's a possibility of getting a lung.
The main group of practitioners I know are students of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, which will be very useful.
