This volume is part of a first wave of B n books that are finding an enthusiastic North American audience.

Reviews

"I strongly recommend this excellent guidebook to practitioners and for anyone else who would like a window into the view and practice of Bon. The practices of ngondro are very important, because they provide the firm, stable foundation one needs for engaging in any of the higher practices of the Bon tradition, including Dzogchen practice. Readers will benefit from the high level of clarity, depth and detail that Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche offers regarding all aspects of these wonderful and essential teachings." Tenzin Namgyal Rinpoche."
