START ON THE PATH OF KALACHAKRA

Get started on the path of Kalachakra with the preliminary practices. If you are new to the practice this will give you a clear structure and guided opportunity to learn the path of Kalachakra. The Preliminary practices are the beginning steps to enter into the tantric path. These are based in path of the Bodhisattva.

GAIN CONFIDENCE IN YOUR PRACTICE

Our small class sizes gives everyone time to ask questions and voice their questions and concerns. For many people the prayer and ritual practices are foreign when you start. There is no question that is too small or silly to ask. It’s important to gain confidence in what practices we are doing and the reason for these practices.

PRACTICE BASED LEARNING

We focus on doing the actual practices. The best way to learn is to jump right in. It is easy to get overwhelmed with all of the information in the books or the visualizations. Once you start the practice everything becomes much simpler. For this reason we focus on the actual practice which is what most people need to actually learn how to do the practices at home and on their own.

SANGHA SUPPORT TO HELP YOU

It’s easier to stick with anything in life when we have friends to travel with us along the way. Our spiritual path is the most important journey of our lives. Many people diet or prepare for a marathon with friends. The path to enlightenment is infinitely more important. So it’s important to connect with others who are on the same path. Make new friends either onlien or in-person and find a practice community.

Your Ngondro Guides

Each module will be guided by Khentrul Rinpoche’s long term disciples in Australia, many who have completed their ngondro practice more than once. You can learn more about our teachers on our team page.
