About Us

The Halifax Nalandabodhi Study Group is dedicated to the study and practice of Buddhism, a science of mind, under the direction of The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. 

The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is acknowledged as one of the foremost scholars of his generation in the Nyingma and Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He is known for his sharp intellect, humor, and the lucidity of his teaching style. Fluent in the English language and well-versed in Western culture, Rinpoche is also an accomplished calligrapher, visual artist and poet.

Rinpoche is a prolific teacher and author. His teachings have been widely published in Bodhi Magazine and other venues. In 2001, Siddhi Publications released Penetrating Wisdom.  

Rinpoche has three books in print: Penetrating Wisdom: The Aspiration of Samantabhadra, Wild Awakening, and Mind Beyond Death, which has been described as an indispensable guidebook through the journey of life and death.

Rinpoche has dedicated himself to the preservation of traditional Buddhist traditions in the East, and to the support the establishment of a genuine transmission of Buddhism to the West.
