Welcome to Nalandabodhi Boulder !
 |
Since 1996, Nalandabodhi Boulder has been offering opportunities for students to study and practice Buddhism under the guidance of The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche (NBI). Having grown from a small group to a center whose members meet weekly to practice meditation and discuss dharma, we offer community practice opportunities and guidance to those wishing to explore Buddhism. We also periodically host visiting teachers. As part of Nalandabodhi, an organization dedicated to continuing the lineage of Tibetan Buddhism (NBI) internationally, we study and explore the teachings of The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and masters of the Kagyu (NBI) and Nyingma (NBI) traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Examples of these teachings can be found in Bodhi Magazine and also in recordings available from Vajra Echoes. We hope you enjoy visiting our online home. Please contact us should you be interested in attending our activities for the first time.

Specifically, this class is a systematic overview of the Buddhist philosophical tenet systems of the foundational vehicle: the Vaibhashika and Sautrantika schools, exploring their ground, path and fruition, their shared assertions as well as the differences.

Refreshing Our Spiritual Journey with Mitra Mark Power
How do we join our practice of meditation, study of dharma and the activities of our lives so that they support each other and inspire our delight? This question speaks to the ongoing quest of balance and sustainability in our busy lives. It also speaks to our need to make the path personal - a vital process of transformation.
