What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"I strongly recommend this excellent guidebook for practitioners and for anyone else who would like a window into the view and practice of Bön. The practices of ngondro are very important because they provide the firm, stable foundation one needs for engaging in any of the higher practices of the Bön Buddhist tradition, including dzogchen practice. Readers will benefit from the high level of clarity, depth, and detail that Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche offers regarding all aspects of these wonderful and essential teachings."—Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, author of Healing with Form, Energy, and Light
