Buddhist studies in Kathmandu


Dear readers,

I have had several requests about what Buddhist studies are available in Nepal, here is the result of my research:

(Kagyu lineage)
The center offers BA and MA and is recognized by Kathmandu University (www.ku.edu.np).
The course take place in the Rangjung Yeshe Institute  (www.shedra.org). 
Where: in the Bouddhanath area of Kathmandu, a very lively Tibetan community

(Sakya lineage)
Several "one month" options from May to September
Where: Bouddhanath area

(Dzogchen, Nyingma lineage)

They have a 3 month winter-spring program (already full for 2013!)
Where: In Pharping, a small village a few miles west of Kathmandu

(Gelup lineage)
Many option but the most popular is the one month Lam Rim course in November each year. 
Where: A few miles north of Bouddhanath

(Kagyu Lineage)
A very popular 2 month program from Jan 7 to March 7 but also a 5 year philosophy program for the more advanced students!
Where: In Tinchuli, a few minutes walk East of Bouddhanath

(Nyingma lineage)
A 9 year program (MA and PhD equivalent), for serious students!
Where: In Bouddhanath area

Let's turn the Wheel of Dharma!
With Love and Light

  6. Yoga shares some characteristics also with Buddhism that can be traced back through history. During the sixth century B.C., Buddhism also stresses the importance of Meditation and the practice of physical postures. Siddharta Gautama was the first Buddhist to actually study Yoga.
