Why Nalanda Institute?
Nalanda Institute is a contemplative learning community of people devoted to transforming their lives, supporting others in changing themselves and working together to better care for the world we share. It was founded by Academic Director Joe Loizzo, MD, PhD, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and Columbia-trained Buddhist scholar with over forty years’ experience studying the beneficial effects of contemplative practices.
Our programs blend university level rigorous content with the experiential practices needed for self and societal transformation. The educational experience is designed to be communal, impactful, and practical which means students begin to process and implement what they learn from their first day of instruction.
