Maybe. I don’t think any lama has ever, if asked “can I start the ngondro”, answered “no”. My teacher made me do 350 plus hours of sitting practice before having me start ngöndro. Oh, wow.

You only really to study chapters 1-6, which cover suffering (1-2), the cause of suffering (3-4), and the cessastion of suffering (5-6). You don''t really need to study the path (7-8) since we do not practice this path. So the last two chapters are academic only. Geez, I wish I knew this before I o...

But I wholeheartly agree that it is absolutely BEST to receive all the goods before diving in to such texts. I'm WAY more of a don't bot...

Oh, okay so I guess I should reply. :D Yeah I did not say it is a fact. It is purely my opinion. That is why I wrote "I do not see", not "there is no point" or "scientifically there is no point". Yes an interest can be a doorway thats for sure. However after reading it and not having the initiation...

There is no point in reading them without the proper empowerments. Many people like to read books without the proper empowerments thinking they will gain some intellectual knowledge about the practices involved. Even if they do, it will be very little and leads to conflating practices with common M...
