Compassion in Action

Three Initiatives. One Great Resolve.

Guided by the values of compassion, generosity and dignity, IBMCT expresses the spirit of Dhamma through meaningful service to people and communities.

Where Compassion Lives

Homes, Shelters and New Beginnings

Each flagship program answers a specific human need — a home for elders, safety for women, a beginning for children. Unveiled together at Maha Karuna 2026 under one great resolve, each is run with the same conviction: that dignity is not a privilege, but a right.

IBMCT (International Buddhist Monks Charitable Trust), in collaboration with Lykit Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., has taken this initiative forward with the belief that meaningful change begins when compassion becomes action.
