Part I covers motivation, the basic clearing the air yoga, the four thoughts. Part II covers mantras and tonglen. Part III are the ngondro practices themselves: the reasons and practice of the three-fold refuge, generating the altruistic mind or bodhicitta, the six perfections, purification practice, manadala offerings, guru yoga, the transference of consciousness at the moment of death.
