This article describes contemplative education as practiced at the Buddhist-inspired Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. It highlights the importance of students’ intentions and of integrating Eastern” and Western” ideas to the success of such an education. For U.S. scholar-practitioners Naropa is a model non-denominational, secular approach to contemplative teaching and learning.
