About Ngondro

“The Namchö (Space Treasure) Dzogchen preliminary practice is called “Buddha in the Palm of the Hand.” By accomplishing this practice, one can realize the nature of mind – an important and necessary foundation for higher Dzogchen practice. Although the Namchö preliminary practice is very deep and profound, it is clear and easy for all to practice. It has many special qualities and the blessings of the lineage are strong and swift.” - His Holiness Pema Norbu Rinpoche
