The Maitripa Rabjungma Community is a lineage-rooted formation pathway for women pursuing Buddhist ordination and long-term spiritual leadership, integrating rigorous study, Vinaya training, contemplative practice, retreat, and communal life within the living Nalanda tradition. As the Community completes its inaugural year, this pioneering program continues to demonstrate what it means to cultivate ethical, scholarly, and spiritually mature women as teachers, scholars, and stewards of the Dharma for generations to come.
Applications for entry in Summer 2027 will be available this fall, and we invite those who feel called to this path to begin discerning whether the Rabjungma Community may be their next step.
