Simply Dharma

For tales of spirited travel,

adventure & 

solitary retreat…  

N. L. Drolma’s dharma blog Beyond Meeting or Parting.

N. L. Drolma

Ngawang Lodro Drolma is a longtime practitioner / dharma teacher ordained in the Nyingma (ancient, esoteric) school of Tibetan Buddhism; her way of teaching is simple, playful and direct. She’s received precious teachings, training, and guidance from preeminent masters of meditation and has engaged in extensive solitary retreat. N. L. Drolma established the Khachod Dechenling Foundation to temper digital addiction and impart skillful means for undoing the busy mind. For her full bio, please visit the foundation’s website.

If you are “dharma curious” (or intuit that your life would be sweeter with less screen time), check out “The No-Phone Hour,” a teaching (interlaced with meditation) offered weekly, in-person at Khachod Dechen Ling.

Simply Dharma is intelligent play.

“One person’s play is another person’s seriousness, and one person’s seriousness is another person’s play... If we have playmind, we can see through meditation that all phenomena are like magic. Then, wherever we go, we are comfortable.”
