Bön Ngöndro Free online course
Hello,
just wanted to share an event. Chaphur rinpoche will be giving teachings on bön ngöndro and it will be via webcast.
Here is the link http://gyalshen.org/ngondro-practice-online/
Also I would like to ask about Chapthur rinpoche, does anybody here follow his teachings? I would like to know if you would recommend him as a teacher, he seems to be quite charming and interesting teacher and I am interested in following this teachings.
Also I would like to ask on the ngöndro. Does anybody know where the text can be bought? Or could someone tell me more into detail about bön ngöndro as it seems slightly different from other ngöndros.

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
Shouldn't it be 'Böndro'?

Geshe Chaphur's place is quite close to where I live. I have not yet received teachings from him, but I am hoping to do so soon. My impression, based on several things, is that he is a reputable Bon lama, but I am not an expert on Bon. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can comment.

I have met Chapur Rinpoche, and he is a very nice person.
Bon ngondro is basically the same as any other ngondro. No difference at all really.

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
I'm kind of interested in their 100 syllable mantra, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Vajrasattva mantra. Does anyone know anything about its origins? I don't want to assume it was just done in imitation of the Buddhist mantra, but it seems like an odd coincidence.Malcolm wrote:Bon ngondro is basically the same as any other ngondro.

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
Hah I shall go with böndro from now on just for the sake of the the pun (yes puns are my sweet spot).
Hmmm well since it seems to be just like any other ngöndro I think it might be good for me. Although I knw I have received more precious teachings from ChNN I think böndro might do me good. Although memorizing the "new" 100 syllable mantra might be a pain in the ... well butt.

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
I'm curious about the 100 Syllable mantra too, is it a specific deity, Shenla Okar etc.?
Meditate upon Bodhicitta when afflicted by disease
Meditate upon Bodhicitta when sad
Meditate upon Bodhicitta when suffering occurs
Meditate upon Bodhicitta when you are scared

My short Nondro-Sadhana says: 100 syllable mantra with the root syllables of Nampar Gyalwa with retinue...
f.e.: one line of this Mantra is Shenrab Miwo's name-mantra in Zhang-Zhung language.

Geshe Chapur is a confident Geshela and is qualified to give teachings. He is a very kind person. Further his English is very good to follow.
Geshe Chaphur was born in Amdo Ngaba in Eastern Tibet. As a young boy he was recognized as the reincarnation of a great master Chaphur Phuntsok Wangyal Rinpoche by His Eminence Bon-Gya Rinpoche and other high lamas.
Geshela belongs to the Chaphur lineage which is one of the oldest and most important of the Bön lama lineages.

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
The big request not to cancel webcasts next time ) (Yes I believe in the lung-transmission in vajrayana teachings). It's not very pleasant to wait until 5 am for the sake of an empty screen Thank you!
Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
Are you on their mailing list? They always notify when the schedule changes, tho some things just happen.

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
I hope I'm on this list for there are nine e-mails about ngondo but the zoom link was only one (???). Maybe there is something wrong with mail

Re: Bön Ngöndro Free online course
Oh, I see! Great )
Every Saturday Rinpoche will give teachings via zoom on the generation and completion stages of Takla Mebar practice, and their relation to tantric practice in the larger Bön Buddhist context. Students will be encouraged to practice their own retreat on the deity, accumulating mantras, and engaging in other Takla Mebar practices. At the conclusion of Rinpoche’s personal retreat, he will lead a five day teaching and practice retreat at Gyalshen Institute. There he will also give the tantric empowerment for Takla Mebar.
Zoom sessions – will be on Saturday, December 16th and Saturday, December 23rd from 9-10 am. You will also be able to attend the 5 day retreat by Zoom on December 27th-31st.
