We must try our best to practice either four outer preliminaries Ngondro or five inner preliminaries Ngondro. After practice, we have to observe and examine ourselves: have we generated and enhanced our renunciation and Bodhicitta? If your renunciation and Bodhicitta have been enhanced, that means you have practiced well; if not, that means you have only completed the quantity yet. The four outer preliminaries and five inner preliminaries Ngondro are the indispensable dharma in our life, so we should attach importance to them.

無論是修四個外加行，還是修五個內加行，都要盡力去修。修完後要觀察自己：有沒有生起和增上出離心、菩提心？如果增上那說明你修好了。如果沒有增上說明還沒有修好，只是完成數量而已。這四個外加行和五個內加行，是我們這一生都不能離開的法，所以一定要重視。
