Land Purchased
A generous devotee donates land in Karnataka for a centre of Buddhist learning — the seed of the Nalanda Study Centre is planted.
Nalanda Study Centre
Reviving the Spirit of Nalanda
A living centre for Dhamma, meditation, scholarship and cultural preservation — completed in 2024 in Karnataka.
The Project
A Beacon of Buddhist Learning
Fifteen centuries ago, Nalanda was the world’s great university of Buddhist thought — drawing scholars from across Asia. The Nalanda Study Centre honours that legacy with a modern mission: a place where the Dhamma is studied, practised and shared freely with all.
The centre will house meditation halls, classrooms, a public library of Buddhist literature, residential quarters for monastics and students, and spaces for interfaith dialogue and cultural preservation.
