For those who do not live near a Nalandabodhi center or study group, [1] Nalandabodhi provides home study of the Nalandabodhi study curriculum. Homestudy participants set their own pace, covering the material and completing the exam process. Home study students may participate in online forums to discuss their studies with senior Nalandabodhi instructors and other curriculum students.

The homestudy program materials and assignments are identical to those in the Nalandabodhi centers. Home study students are provided with source books based on the teachings of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. Exams are graded by mail. In addition, online forums are available for dialogue with instructors and other students in the home study and center-based programs.

Home study students are expected to fulfill all the normal curriculum requirements, which includes two exams per course (both written), homestudy tuition, and sourcebook materials costs and shipping. Completion of exams is a prerequisite to registration and acquiring sourcebook materials for subsequent classes.

The Nalandabodhi Study and Practice Department provides all students with source books and other study materials. Ordering and cost information follows. For further questions, please contact the Curriculum Director, homestudy@nalandabodhi.org .
