Padmasambhava Statue for Peace - New Project at Nalanda
To fulfil the wish of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, we are now working on fundraising for the new 1.82 meters Padmasambhava statue, which will be installed on our property - on the small pond, just after the entrance to Nalanda. This bronze statue will be custom-made and fully gilded in 24-carats gold by artist in Patan, Nepal. You can see the example of the statue in the photo below, which is a smaller size than we are asking for. The statue design and artist were checked and confirmed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Donate now.
- Dear visitors, due to new Covid regulations, Nalanda Monastery is closed to non-residents until further notice.
Study at Nalanda Monastery:
The Basic Program
The FPMT Basic Program was designed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche as an integrated program of Buddhist studies suitable for a contemporary setting.
It is a five-year comprehensive, practice-oriented transmission of the Buddhadharma for committed students who wish to progress beyond introductory level of study and practice.
The FPMT Basic Program is offered at a variety of levels, both residential and non-residential, in FPMT centers worldwide. It is also available as Homestudy and as Basic Program Online.
The third FPMT Basic Program at Nalanda Monastery started in February 2018 and will finish in 2022.

The Masters Program
The FPMT Masters Program in Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra is the unique vision of Lama Thubten Yeshe, first implemented and developed into the current curriculum by Geshe Jampa Gyatso. As a full-time study program with integrated practice and training components, it aims at providing serious students of Lama Tsongkhapa’s tradition greater depth of study and trains qualified teachers of Buddhist theory and practice.
At Nalanda, the program consists of seven years of study of five great texts, with integrated training and service components, and one year of retreat.
The first edition of the Masters Program at Nalanda started in September 2013 and finished in December 2020. Next Masters Program is confirmed to start in Janurary 2023. Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive further updates.
