About this event

Dharma teaching + meditation w/ N. L. Drolma

Take a break from screen insanity (say bye to FOMO) and make friends with yourself profoundly. Meditation is a way of being— alert, relaxed, and in tune with how things really are. We “sit” to quiet the mind and come home to peace and clarity (an all-encompassing awareness which is presently obscured by our breakneck speed and busyness.)

Meditation instruction and practice are interlaced with written commentary by renowned Tibetan Buddhist masters. There’s always opportunity for Q & A.

Ngawang Lodrö Drolma trained for umpteen years under some of the most revered Tibetan Buddhist masters of our time.* But her first guru was the beloved children’s book author/illustrator Dr. Seuss, whose clever "Cat in the Hat" not only taught her to read, but how not to be bored indoors alone on a rainy day.

@Khachod Dechenling Foundation in the West Village.


The dharma is priceless and not a commodity for sale. Offerings are a Buddhist tradition, so we ask that you kindly contribute whatever your means allow in support of the teachings and our sacred space Khachod Dechen Ling. No one is turned away for lack of funds.

Your first class is always complimentary.

Frequently asked questions

Must we sit on a meditation cushion or are chairs available?

No worries! We have chairs here as well as meditation cushions. (Anyone is also welcome to bring their own cushion.)

How do I prepare for class?

You're on an adventure! No need to sweat it, wear comfortable clothing, and just try to come some minutes early to settle in.

Mind Training:

The national mental health crisis in the wake of Covid is severe and it is compelling more and more men and women to explore the nature of the mind. Khachod Dechenling Foundation offers support for individuals who would like to know how to tame their wild “monkey" mind, cut through self-deception, and abide in equanimity. By engaging in introspection and developing the skillful, compassionate means that Tibetan Buddhist masters embody, we discover the lightness of being— pure awareness— free of bias and aggression. In these upside down, hyperbolic times, what could be more relevant and healing?
