*On 2nd of January 2020 we will dedicate a day to the practice of Ngagkong: starting at 9.30 with a Medium Tun, up to the offerings to the guardians, when we will continue with the recitation of Ngagkong uninterrupted until 17.00. Anyone wishing to participate can join in for one or more sessions, from 9.30 to 11, 11 to 13.00, 13.00 to 15.00 and 15.00 to 17.00. The practitioners that join these sessions should do the tun practice internally up to the transformation and then join the other practitioners in collectively reciting the mantra. Remember to bring your tun book and don’t hesitate to contact us for any further information.
Ngagkong is a practice of the principle guardians of the Dzogchen teachings: Ekajati, Rahula and Dorje Legpa. It is a practice particularly suited to enter into contact with these guardians which can be guaranteed to give help and support in the practice and in everyday activities, especially in important or special circumstances.
