During Retreat
We ask that those sharing the retreat houses limit guests during retreat. Please note that no cleaning service is included. Please kindly consider house mates and remove garbage, clean dishes, and otherwise maintain this beautiful communal space as one family.

The former students of Namdroling labored as volunteers on weekends after already working full weeks. They did this from their core of heart as an offering to our teachers and to those students who wish to engage in serious practice or who would like to bring their families to receive blessings from this sacred land.
