The Ngondro, or preliminary, practices in Tibetan Buddhism establish the foundation for the entire Vajrayana path--they are as fundamental to the practitioner's development as the alphabet is to written language. Among the preliminaries of the various lineages, the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro of the Nyingma tradition is possibly the most concise.

The Dudjom Tersar Ngondro is an extremely powerful pracice for turning the mind toward dharma, for purifying obscurations, and for bringing forth the qualities of realization. It enhances devotion to dharma and receptivity to the highest level of teachings, the Great Perfection. For practitioners with receptive minds, the Great Perfection perspective can evolve from ngondro itself. The Dudjom Tersar Ngondro--succint, unelaborate, and grounded in guru yoga--provides a superb means of opening the door to the nature of mind.
