Nalandabodhi

Nalandabodhi is an international Buddhist organization founded in the United States by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche in 1997 and is named after the historic Nalanda university of India. "Nalanda" translates literally as "the place that confers the lotus (of spiritual knowledge)," and Bodhi translates as "enlightenment." Their international headquarters is Nalanda West in Seattle, with centers and study groups in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and throughout Europe and Asia.

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche worked closely with his teacher, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, in creating Nalandabodhi's paths of Study, Meditation, and Mindful Activity. Nalandabodhi’s path is rooted in the Vajrayana traditions of Tibet and India. Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, a lineage holder of the Kagyu and Nyingma Buddhist lineages, currently serves as the Spiritual Director of Nalandabodhi.
