It is a place blessed by many great masters and can be considered the place where Nalandabodhi was born. Rinpoche taught the dharma for the first time in Boulder. Acharya Lama Tenpa likened it to Varanasi and Vulture Peak Mountain; the physical locations where the Buddha turned the wheel of dharma and introduced profound teachings. A physical place is important to offer anyone interested in the path to freedom and genuine happiness an opportunity to connect and practice together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ponlop Rinpoche recounted coming to Boulder with His Holiness the 16th Karmapa when he was only 14 years old.
