About the teacher
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche holds transmission in both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages and founded Nalandabodhi, a network of Buddhist study and meditation centres, to teach Mahāmudrā and Dzogchen practice combined with rigorous philosophical study, deliberately adapted for a contemporary international audience.
He leads a Dzogchen-mindfulness retreat in Singapore in March 2026 (also offered online), a dharma-talk series in Seattle in April, an ongoing worldwide Nalandabodhi course programme, and a Losar address each year.
“We can learn to live well and fully now, with the understanding that death is not something apart from life.”Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
