|ngondrocomplete=No
|ngondrocomplete=Yes
|ngondronotes=After speaking with Rinpoche, he suggested I focus solely on Dharma Service for the time being.  He said to me to do "one thing at a time".  First I should serve the dharma and generate merit, then there will be time for me to focus solely on practice or study.  I followed his instruction and did not begin the Ngondro. The Three Year Retreat begins with the preliminaries, so I will begin in January 2027 and will receive detailed instructions beforehand from Lama Tenzin.

|previousretreatsdetails=This is really a Yes/No answer.  I have not officially completed a group or private retreat as a full participant, but I have participated in many retreats beginning in 2022 as a Dharma volunteer.  Due to volunteering at the Gomdes, I have been able to take part in many daily sessions as well as teachings and instructions.  I became a resident at Gomde California in 2022, so I was also able to take part in the daily morning and evening sessions there for many years, and during the down time I would also spend my free time doing formal sessions.  So although I have not truly practiced the four sessions a day of "one month or longer" these past years I have picked up quite a lot and have practiced in many group sessions by just being part of Gomde's community.
