I intend to chronical the progress of my attempt to complete a 100 Day Ngondro retreat to establish myself more strongly for the road ahead as I continue my quest for truth and my true nature.

I hope that those few who follow my rambling will find them entertaining at least and at best encouraging … thought provoking… inspiring.

Wish me luck.

“The way in which the ngondro practices prepare us for our spiritual journey is that they build up positive force or energy and wear away negative force or potential. After all, with no beginning, we have built up the habit of thinking and acting on the basis of ignorance and unawareness of reality. This has built up an enormous strength of negative force that unconsciously drives us to continue compulsively acting in the same way. It will take an enormous effort to override and eventually wipe out these inborn pathways and build up positive ones. “
