A space for meditation. A center for study. A community that supports your desire to live more fully. Nalandabodhi Seattle is all these things.
Nalandabodhi Seattle is home to a community of people who embrace the ancient yet timeless wisdom of the Buddha. Guided by our founder, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, we offer classes in meditation and Buddhist philosophy. The benefits of these practices and studies are relevant and applicable to our everyday lives.
Through Nalanda West we offer weekend programs, residential practice retreats and artist residencies. In conjunction with Nitartha Institute, we offer advanced classes in traditional Buddhist philosophy.
Whether you are interested in starting a meditation practice or have been a student of Buddhism for decades, we invite you to join us.

On Shakyamuni Day, we commemorate the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana. It is the most significant Buddhist Holiday to observe. When we perform beneficial actions during this time, their results are greatly amplified. We invite you to attend our annual celebration online May 16. In the evening, the Seattle sangha will host a social gathering for Nalandabodhi members, family and friends at Nalanda West.
We once again are offering in-person Sunday meditations at Nalanda West, from 10 a.m. to noon followed by a potluck social gathering in the dining room. The May 22 meditation will be followed by a potluck brunch and a sangha meeting.
