"Ngöndro practice is not merely a prerequisite, it is the path to realizing the great expanse of the Vidyadhara Jigme Lingpa." —Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

"The amazing verses of this most sacred meditation practice have resounded in monasteries, nunneries, and mountain caves for centuries. They are waves from the spiritual realization of great adepts on the Roof of the World. These have now here been born in English, in beautiful poetry and inspiring melodies." —Tulku Thondup, author of The Practice of Dzogchen and Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth
