|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. | |ngondronotes=After speaking with Rinpoche, he suggested I focus solely on Dharma Service for the time being.
