Nagarjuna Institute

 Nagarjuna Institute

 Nagarjuna Institute was established as a Buddhist Research Institute in 1980 with the motivation to enlighten Nepalese people about their own form of Buddhism, its philosophy and practice.  Nepalese Buddhism is a unique tradition in itself.  The nature of this tradition was observed centuries ago in Nalanda and Vikramashila monastic Universities of India.  Based on the same tradition, Tibetan Buddhism has retained most of the lineage and practices of the Siddhas of India and Nepal.  In order to reinstate the glorious traditions and lineage of Nepalese Buddhism, the support from the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism was sought, Ch’ an and Pure Land school of Mahayana tradition.
