Ngöndro Online Course Registration Still Open
In May: ‘Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love’ with Marcy Vaughn
Ligmincha Learning's new online course “Ngondro: The Foundational Practices” is still open for registration to new students. Sign up soon so you can get started on this course, which continues until December 2. It is much longer than our other online courses, due to the number of meditation practices and the commitment of the practitioners to accumulate a 100,000 repetitions of many of the practices.
The ngöndro teachings are a set of nine practices that offer complete instructions for taming, purifying and perfecting the suffering mind. Although these practices are considered the foundation for entrance into the cycle of Tibetan Bön dzogchen teachings – Bön’s highest teachings on the nature of mind – many practitioners adopt the ngöndro as their main meditation and complete the nine sets of 100,000 repetitions several times over the course of a lifetime. They are considered to be the foundational practices for the entire tradition.

Coming in May: "Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love" with Marcy Vaughn. This four-week online course runs May 11 through June 8, 2018, introducing the practices of Sherap Chamma.
In many cultures the primordial female energy is seen as the origin of existence and the source of all positive qualities. Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, is the source of wisdom, and her medicine is love and compassion. The teachings of Sherap Chamma are part of one of the most important tantric cycles of the ancient Bön tradition.
In this retreat, participants will learn a beautiful and simple meditation practice enabling each to directly connect with the divine feminine energy. Within the support of the group, an environment is created to promote profound healing of physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual dimensions of life. With visualization, the sound of mantra and deep contemplation, participants can make a personal connection to this sacred form of the universal mother, Sherap Chamma, and are guided through this connection to innate wisdom and the love and compassion that naturally radiate from that wisdom.
