Our Teachers

A resource for wisdom, kindness, and guidance.

Our Nalandabodhi teachers come from both East and West. The special qualities and direction they bring arise from thorough training in the traditional Buddhist methodology of intellectual studies combined with extensive meditative retreat practices and experience. Nalandabodhi is also actively engaged in training the next generation of modern Buddhist teachers.
