Khenpo will give the transmission and instructions for the preliminary practices (ngondro) of the Five-fold Mahamudra composed by Garchen Rinpoche. Engaging in this suite of practices purifies the mind of negativity and gathers the accumulations of merit and wisdom. This purification process creates receptivity to the more subtle methods of Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

Teachings of the path to enlightenment given by the Buddha were brought together in the eleventh century by Milerepa’s disciple, Gampopa, and became known as The Profound Five-fold Path of Mahamudra. Khenpo Samdup will give the transmission and instructions for Garchen Rinpoche’s preliminary practices (ngondro) of the Five-fold Mahamudra..

They are the first step to engaging in the practices contained within the Five-fold Path of Mahamudra.
