Mahamudra Hermitage
- a new meditation and retreat center in New York state is currently under design. It was originally planned to be built on thirty-four acres of land donated to UTBF. Due to positive responses, the project has grown substantially in scale, leading to the purchase of a larger construction site.
The new hermitage intends to offer public meditation programs, short and long term retreats, including retreats of the Six Teachings of Naropa. It would include a main temple, a short term meditation and retreat center and a long term retreat center.
The construction and management for Mahamudra Hermitage is entrusted to Dharmakaya - a new organization under the guidance of H.E. Trungram Gyaltrul Rinpoche - our spiritual director. Please view more details about the project on the Dharmakaya website.
At present, teachings and Dharma activities are held in a structure on the smaller property and on its surrounding grounds. The place is about two and a half hours drive from New York City. It is slightly removed from major highways, convenient for city dwellers and travelers and extremely tranquil, without any hint of being in close proximity to one the busiest cities in the world.
