International Bhikku Training Center

About the Project

Empowering the Sangha through rigorous Dhamma education and leadership training for monks.

History & Impact

Objectives

The center was founded to revive the authentic Buddhist monastic tradition in India. Its primary goals include:

  1. Scriptural Mastery: Providing in-depth study of the Pali Tipitaka and Buddhist philosophy.
  2. Meditation Practice: Integrating theoretical knowledge with intensive Vipassana practice.
  3. Leadership Development: Training monks to serve as Dhamma teachers and community leaders in their respective regions.

Impact on the Sangha

By providing a stable environment for training, the center helps monks learn to face modern societal challenges while remaining rooted in the “holy life” (Brahmacariya). It serves as a modern successor to the great Buddhist universities like Nalanda and Vikramshila.
