Whether you are new to Buddhism or have been exploring the path for some time, you are welcome to join us for meditation practice, study, and community gatherings.
Khadiravanitara (Green Tara) Practice
Sunday, July 26, 10 am
You are welcome to join the Nalandabodhi community in the practice of Khadiravanitara, a Green Tara sadhana authored and compiled by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.
Green Tara represents the fearless and compassionate energy of our mind’s true nature and the resolve to dispel suffering and fear. In all wisdom traditions, it is said that the antidote to fear is loving kindness.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes early if this is your first practice session.
Save the dates: Next Khadiravanitara practice on August 16, August 30, and September 13th.

If you are interested, please contact us at halifax@nalandabodhi.ca before joining.
For over two millennia, the teachings of the Buddha have helped people lead happier, more peaceful lives. Times change, but these teachings remain a proven and profound guide.
Nalandabodhi’s path makes the Buddha’s teachings relevant and approachable for the modern mind. Through study, meditation, and mindful activity, we begin to see clearly, open our hearts, and foster a truly meaningful life.Â
Meditation opens our mind so we can get to know and accept ourself, and then experience the world with greater kindness and compassion.
Study helps us understand our life and the choices we make with greater precision and awareness.
Mindful activity makes every moment meaningful, allowing us to find joy in every aspect of your life and interactions with others.
We are happy to provide personalized 1:1 meditation instruction. You will learn basic meditation techniques, how to adjust the meditation posture to your physical needs, and how to work with possible obstacles. Contact us at halifax@nalandabodhi.ca to request instruction.
You are also welcome to join the regular meditation sessions offered at KCCL. Dates and times can be found here.
