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.

Bodhi Heart
Bodhi Heart was founded by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche to help with the many needs of Tibetan monastics and lay communities in South Asia. This project provides direct financial assistance to monks and nuns (both young and old), who are committed to continuing their study and practice. Donations supply individual monastics with books, food, clothing and medical care. We also have a Bodhi Heart Committee in Boulder which serves to support our local community. We work with sangha in need, families, and other aspects of community services. If you would like to contribute donations, energy, or ideas to Bodhi Heart nationally or locally please contact Trish.(See Contact Page)
