Dedicated to the excellent health, longevity, and flourishing enlightened activities of our main teacher and founder, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, and to share prayers and blessings for the world and all sentient beings, this weekend program will offer participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in the meditation and mantra recitation.

How to bring heart and mind together on the spiritual path? Please join Nalandabodhi Seattle is hosting a special two part program with our beloved teacher Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and acclaimed musician Krishna Das.
How is the awakened and awakening heart depicted? How can the practices of looking at and creating buddhist art be a support on our path to awakening? Stephanie will explore these questions using Buddhist Visual Literacy, a practice that joins art, clear seeing, and symbolism with the Buddhist path.
