Quarterly Day of Practice (Nyinthun)

Please join us for the next Nalandabodhi Seattle nyinthun (Day of Practice) on Saturday, August 15, 2026!

Acharya Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen will give a talk on the practice of Arya Tara, part of a series of talks providing inspiration and context for Nalandabodhi’s upcoming Tara Drupchen, September 17–20, 2026. After Lama Tenpa’s talk, the lung (reading transmission) for Khadiravanitara Sadhana—one of the central practices of Arya Tara in the Nalandabodhi lineage—will be given, followed by the practice of that sadhana. Throughout the day sessions for a variety of practices, including shamatha/vipashyana, ngöndro, and Vajrasattva sadhana will be held.
