Shambhala Ngondro & Rigden Abhisheka with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

For students wishing to complete two weeks of their group n
ngöndro requirement in the Seminary mandala in preparation for the Rigden Abhisheka.

Ngöndro students applying to the Rigden Abhisheka should complete the following before receiving the abhisheka:

Four weeks of Shambhala ngöndro group retreat, at least two weeks of which should be done in a residential retreat setting led by a Shambhala acharya or other teacher authorized by the Office of Practice and Education. Up to two weeks can be completed in nonresidential two- to fourteen-day group intensives. Those who went to Seminary last year were encouraged by the Sakyong to return this year for the ngöndro dathün, which will run concurrently with Seminary. There will be no application process for attending all or part of the ngöndro dathün. Space will be limited, so please register early.

The Sakyong has asked that ngöndro students who plan to attend the abhisheka adopt the Shambhala ngöndro as their daily practice between now and the abhisheka ceremony. He has suggested that they divide the time before the abhisheka into four equal parts, devoting each part to emphasizing a particular ngöndro practice.
