In this paper we study the coupling between a quantum dot and the edge of a non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state. We assume the dot is small enough that its level spacing is large compared to both the temperature and the coupling to the spatially proximate bulk non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state. We focus on the physics of level degeneracy with electron number on the dot. The physics of such a resonant level is governed by a $k$-channel Kondo model when the quantum Hall state is a Read-Rezayi state at filling fraction $\nu=2+k/(k+2)$ or its particle-hole conjugate at $\nu=2+2/(k+2)$. The $k$-channel Kondo model is channel symmetric even without fine tuning any couplings in the former state; in the latter, it is generically channel asymmetric. The two limits exhibit non-Fermi liquid and Fermi liquid properties, respectively, and therefore may be distinguished. By exploiting the mapping between the resonant level model and the multichannel Kondo model, we discuss the thermodynamic and transport properties of the system. In the special case of $k=2$, our results provide a novel venue to distinguish between the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states at filling fraction $\nu=5/2$. We present numerical estimates for realizing this scenario in experiment.
