Welcome!

The Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center serves as the practice center for students of the Palyul tradition in the New York City metropolitan area, as well as visitors to the city from around the world. Established in 2005 by Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche and Khenpo Tenzin Norgay Rinpoche in accordance with the wishes of His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, the Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center also hosts talks for the general public and teachings and empowerments from the Palyul tradition at a number of venues in New York City. It is our aim to continue to serve the community of Palyul practioners and others with the immeasurable legacy we have inherited from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche.

The center maintains an ongoing practice schedule that meets two times per week, offers pujas on Guru Rinpoche Day and Dakini Day every month, and celebrates the four major Buddhist holidays annually, all of which are free events open to the general public. The program of sadhanas includes Guru Yoga and Chöd on Mondays, and Riwo Sangchöd, Vajrakilaya, and Green Tara on Sundays.*

Khenpo Tenzin Norgay Rinpoche and lamas from the Palyul Lineage are frequently in attendance to lead the center’s practice sessions.

Membership Renewal Request

Thank you everyone for your sincere and dedicated support of Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center. His Holiness Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche’s wish of establishing a permanent Palyul Center in New York City has become a reality.

We now have a place of practice, but there is still much work to be done, including interior renovations to fully transform the church into a temple. Everyone’s continued support is needed. If you are a member, please take this moment to make sure your membership is still active and your payment information is up-to-date – we noticed a number of memberships have become inactive due to inability to process payment. You can view your status and update your payment information by logging into the membership website via following link, or by contacting one of the volunteers below:
