Ngondro Counting
Why use this sheet?
Never had a good system for keeping track of your Ngondro repetitions? Maybe this is just for you!
The system makes it easy to keep track of complete malas of meditation, and also quarter and half malas too.
Each square in the table represents 108 repetitions. So, every time you complete one mala, you trace over a complete square to mark it “as done”. However, if you only manage 27, 54 or 81 repetitions, simply trace over 1, 2 or 3 sides of the square.
The page also neatly fits into your Ngondro booklet and will not fall out, so you won’t lose it!
Never again forget your important repetitions!
Instructions for use
Print sheet on A4 paper
Write which practice you are doing and add your name at the top
Add your start date if you want to be able to keep a record of your progress (carrot vs. stick!)
Cut around the outer dotted lines
Fold on the inner dotted line to create the flap (this holds the sheet in place in the book so you won’t lose it)
Push the flap through the gaps inbetween the staples in your practice text
Start meditating!
For every full mala completed, trace over a complete square image.
For every 27 repetitions (one small hand mala), just trace over one side of the square (example below shows having done 108 + 54 repetitions)
Here’s a link to the page you need to print out.
Have fun!
