Nalandabodhi Connecticut is pleased to join the spiritual community of Suffield with the opening of our Northern Branch at 1380 Mountain Road.
We have had a meditation center in Bloomfield for almost 20 years, and are affiliated with Nalandabodhi International, whose spiritual director is Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche—a reincarnated Tibetan Buddhist master in the Kagyu/Nyingma lineages.
Nalandabodhi is an international community dedicated to bringing the wisdom and compassion of awakening into today’s world. Using techniques the Buddha offered, we provide a genuine path to a more open, kind, and full life. Our teachings and meditations are open to those on other spiritual paths and may be complementary.
All are welcome to join us on Sunday mornings in West Suffield or Bloomfield. Our Sunday schedule for West Suffield is below.
We recite Prayers for World Peace from 9 to 9:45 a.m. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. for coffee, tea and snacks. We offer teaching and commentary by our teacher Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche on a prayer called True Words to Heal the Fears of Strife, as well contemplation and discussion of The Four Immeasurables (love, compassion, joy, and equanimity).
We meditate from 10 to 10:50 a.m. led by our Bloomfield center via Zoom. From 11 to 11:30 a.m. we read and discuss a short teaching from Pema Chodron’s book, Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion.
Anyone interested can also join us Sundays online. Sign up for our weekly email announcements at ct.nalandabodhi.org to receive the Zoom link.
