Ngondro dreams
October 26, 2011
I pick up and put down Ngondro practice because it’s inspiring and helpful but parts of it are also too hard to do if you didn’t get the hang of them in the first place. Singing in Tibetan while doing complicated mudras is a challenge for me. I recently went to a Ngondro practice retreat and got some of those kinds of issues worked out, and got reminded of some important things I’d forgotten. It was pretty helpful and revitalized my commitment to practice.
During the initial training for this practice the teacher said it might cause us to dream of insects leaving our bodies, and that this is a good sign.
But every time I get back on the Ngondro practice I dream of being attacked by insects or infested with parasites. Not sure what that means, but hopefully if I practice enough I’ll get to the point where I dream of them leaving.
