Practice Instructors (PIs) are Nalandabodhi practitioners who have been students of Buddhism for some time, have completed their ngondro practices and the Study Path curriculum, and have made a strong aspiration to benefit the Nalandabodhi sangha by working with others as a guide to their practice. They have also been trained and approved by The Dzgochen Ponlop Rinpoche to do this work.
At Nalandabodhi it is customary for each person to have either a PI, or a Practice "buddy," depending on the situation and level of practice. We encourage one another to practice and to discuss practice with each other. Although PIs are intended for Nalandabodhi members only, non-members can request to have a PI for six months in order to help them determine if they would like to become a member of Nalandabodhi.
