Sustaining life of practice

We create the conditions for monks and nuns to dedicate their lives to study, practice, retreat, and the preservation of the Buddha's teachings.

500+ monks and 200+ nuns are supported through education, accommodation, daily necessities, healthcare, and opportunities for long-term practice.

Keeping Dharma alive

The Dharma continues when it is studied, practiced, preserved, and passed from one generation to the next.

From monastic education and three-year retreats to daily prayers, annual practices, Kangyur recitations, and the training of future teachers, the monastery provides a living environment for the continuation of the Buddhist tradition.

Inspiring learning beyond monastery

The monastery's educational work extends beyond monastic communities to lay practitioners around the world.

Through Dharma Gyan Vidhyalaya, teachings, empowerments, retreats, and online resources, people from different backgrounds can study and engage with Buddhist teachings.

1,700+ lay practitioners participated in the annual Dharma Gyan Vidhyalaya course.

Extend Buddhist compassion through community service and humanitarian initiatives

Through Shenpen Nepal, the values of compassion and care cultivated within the monastery extend into wider communities across Nepal. The initiative supports people facing social and economic difficulties by helping improve access to education, healthcare, essential resources, skills, and opportunities for greater self-reliance. Its work reaches vulnerable individuals and communities, including students, people with disabilities, women and girls, remote communities, and rescued animals. By responding to practical needs while supporting dignity, wellbeing, and opportunity, Shenpen seeks to bring compassionate action into everyday life and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.
