A Vajrayana teaching organization's own program page describing ngondro as the prerequisite foundation for Vajrayana practice generally, while showing how one modern program actually sequences it against empowerment.

Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a Vajrayana teaching organization's own program page, led by Pema Khandro Rinpoche. States plainly that ngondro "is the basis for all Vajrayana practice and thus it is used as the pre-requisite for the great practices of the Vajrayana tradition," corroborating the prerequisite framing from a second, independent teaching source; also shows the practice's operational reality varies by program, since this particular course integrates empowerment within its own fourth training module rather than gating it strictly beforehand ("no prerequisites or previous empowerments necessary to begin the Ngondro training").
