NGONDRO TEACHINGS at Sakya Dechen Ling–A Weekend of teachings with practice on Saturday and Sunday, June 27 and 28, 2015
The Tibetan term Ngondro refers to the preliminary or foundational practices common to all fours schools of Tibetan Buddhism. These preliminary practices establish the foundation for the more advanced Vajrayana teachings.
This event is an excellent opportunity for people who are new to Tibetan Buddhism to gain information about and familiarity with the essential foundations. Learn what it is, what it means, how to visualize, and what to do. Have an opportunity to ask all of your questions, and to get some answers.

THE TEACHER
Jay Goldberg, also known as Ngawang Samten Chophel, has been a disciple of His Holiness Sakya Trizin since 1970, when he first went to India and stayed there. Eventually, he became an attendant and translator for His Holiness, and he took ordination as a monk. Later, Jay was asked to travel with His Holiness, and then to give teachings and instructions on meditations in Malaysia, Singapore, and elsewhere. His name (either English or Tibetan) can be found as the translator or co-translator on many Sakya sadhanas and in a number of books.
He translated The Beautiful Ornament of the Three Visions and he is also a translator of Mo Tibetan Divination System. Always dedicated to practicing and teaching the Dharma, Jay returned to secular life in 1988, and moved to California.
Now his experiential knowledge and wealth of information is being shared with Dharma students here.
