About Ngöndro: Ngöndro is an essential practice of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Each of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism—Gelug, Kagyu, Nyingma and Sakya-- have variations as to the order of the preliminaries, the lineage gurus and deities invoked, prayers, and so on.
Despite these differences all Ngöndro practices have as their goal the enlightenment of the practitioner so that he/she may be of the greatest benefit to all sentient beings--the cultivation of bodhichitta. They are a complete path to enlightenment in and of themselves. The renowned Lama Patrul Rinpoche (1808-1887) is said to have practiced the Longchen Nyingthig Ngöndro repeatedly through of his life.
