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.
Registration is open for the annual Treasury of Knowledge Retreat, to be held virtually Nov. 13-15. Ponlop Rinpoche will teach on the Medicine Buddha practice, held to be extremely powerful for healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
Join us for Introduction to Buddhism, a 16-week cycle of teachings on introductory and foundational Buddhist topics. We’ll explore the basic principles of Buddhism and lay the foundation for deeper studies, including an introduction to the views of different Buddhist schools.
Acharya Tashi will offer virtual teachings on the Mahamudra Aspiration by the Third Karmapa on Sundays from Oct. 25 through Dec. 13. This text is among the most treasured teachings in the Kagyu lineage, capturing the essential points of the view, practice and fruition of Mahamudra practice.
