Nalandabodhi Connecticut Welcomes You
Since 2000, Nalandabodhi
Connecticut has been offering opportunities for students to study
and practice Buddhism under the guidance of The Dzogchen Ponlop
Rinpoche. Having grown from a small study group to a center
whose members meet weekly to practice and discuss dharma, we offer
community practice opportunities and guidance to those wishing to
explore Buddhism. We also periodically host special teaching
events.
As part of Nalandabodhi, an organization dedicated to continuing the lineage of Tibetan Buddhism internationally, we study and explore the teachings of The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and masters of the Kagyu and Nyingma 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.

Letter from Rinpoche
December 21, 2009
Dear Sangha Friends,
I recently had the great fortune to visit and spend time with my guru Khenpo Rinpoche at Tek Chok Ling in Kathmandu, Nepal. Rinpoche is doing very well and he is cheerful and happy to see students and give teachings. I, along with six other students arrived in Kathmandu on November 16. We had daily audiences with Rinpoche in the morning and received profound instructions in doha form.
