Mahamudra Meditation for All

Offered by Nalandabodhi New York Online via Zoom (recorded)
Saturday, September 6, 2025
6:30 am – 2:30 pm (Mountain Time)

“Mahamudra is a contemplative Buddhist tradition known for its simplicity. The practice is to be genuine, relaxed, and aware in every situation in life, to accept and appreciate who we are. To engage in its profound methods, we aren’t required to change our lifestyle, and any message contrary to that is not a true Mahamudra teaching. The practice of Mahamudra is an experience of our mind that’s completely free and joyful, no matter what our life brings us. It points us to mind’s true nature.”

— Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

We are delighted you are interested in joining us for this day-long retreat on Saturday, September 6th. This program is open to all regardless of meditation experience.

For brand new meditators we will offer meditation instructions for our body and our mind. For experienced practitioners it will be a great opportunity to refresh your understanding and practice with a wonderful teacher and practitioner, Acharya Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen.

This day-long retreat aims to bring together people with all levels of experience in meditation–from brand-new to very experienced–to sit together supportively in equality.

Sitting quietly, connecting with a stable meditation posture, hearing profound instructions freshly in the present moment. These are all powerful tools to get in touch with our own wisdom and compassion. They are things we can do to support the development of calmness in our minds. With our minds at ease we can be of greater help to a world in need and to our loved ones. We hope this experience will bring benefits to you and go beyond.

This retreat will have 2 sessions–morning and afternoon as well as time for lunch on your own. Each session will begin with guided meditation, followed by a break and then teaching on meditation. Everyone is encouraged to attend both sessions but, if that is not possible for you please reach out to us so we can accommodate you.
