The Yangti Nakpo Ngöndro Platform is an open-ended online container for practitioners entering the path of the Yangti Nakpo lineage. We gather on the last Sunday of each month from 4–6pm ET for instruction, group practice, and to address questions about the concise and medium-length Yangti Nakpo Ngöndro practices. Based on guidance received from H.E. Chung Tulku Rinpoche, Lama Justin has confirmed a clear path for practitioners to progress through the ngöndro before receiving the Trikaya Guru Empowerment and beginning the associated mantra accumulation retreats. This platform gathers the necessary texts, teachings, refuge tree images, and recordings of past sessions so that all aspiring practitioners have what they need to engage these practices fully with the support of teachers and fellow practitioners.
