Rooted in the wisdom of the Nalanda tradition, a small gathering on 8th March brought together retreat participants from the Bodh Gaya Retreat 2026, earlier retreat members and Himalayan community members in Delhi.
In the presence of our respected Founding Director, we reflected on our retreat experiences, shared heartfelt feedback, and discussed how the teachings of Dharma can guide us in our daily lives. Living in a fast-paced city like Delhi reminds us how important it is to remain grounded in compassion, culture, and community.

Sincere thanks to Hon’ble Kiren Rijiju Ji and the Government of India for accepting our request to conduct the sacred exposition of the Holy Buddha Relics in Ladakh in May 2026.

He also expressed his goodwill and positive intentions towards Ladakh and its people. He often refers to Ladakh as his second home and has consistently shown genuine concern and care for the welfare of the people of Ladakh.

Visiting the exhibition at the museum was an inspiring experience for all of us. We got the chance to observe these ancient sacred relics up close, learn about their history and significance, and reflect on the deep cultural and spiritual heritage they represent.

The gentle smile of Geshela, reflected in this mom

The gentle smile of Geshela, reflected in this moment says everything. Seeing this artwork and the moment it captures brings a natural smile to the heart. In this painting, Jigmet has offered not just colors and form, but his deep respect, gratitude and devotion to his teacher.

Jigmet has always been quietly working for society, using his talent to inspire, uplift and bring people closer to Dharma. May his efforts continue to benefit many beings, and may this spirit of devotion and service grow stronger in all of us.

The ultimate truth is wisdom of emptiness.

The ten-day study retreat on the Heart Sutra, held

The ten-day study retreat on the Heart Sutra, held from 27 January to 5 February 2026 at the sacred land of Bodhgaya, concluded with great success and profound spiritual impact on all participants. Organised by Tibet House, the Cultural Centre of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, in collaboration with Root Institute for Wisdom Culture, the retreat provided a rare and precious opportunity for students, particularly those supported through the scholarship initiative of Flowering Dharma, to immerse themselves in the profound Indian Philosophy. Bodhgaya, being the very place where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree over 2,500 years ago, created an exceptionally powerful and inspiring environment for study, contemplation, and inner transformation.
The presence of the Nalanda Ladakhi Translation Team made it possible for our students to receive the teachings in Ladakhi through live simultaneous translation, allowing them to engage deeply with Bodhicitta, renunciation, and the wisdom of emptiness in their own language. This marked a historic step for Ladakhi youth in connecting the Bhoti language with the living Nalanda tradition.
The retreat was based on Arya Nagarjuna’s Mulamadhyamakakarika, clearly revealing how self-grasping ignorance gives rise to karma and afflictions, and how the realization of emptiness leads to liberation. The generation of Bodhicitta was taught through the Sevenfold Cause-and-Effect Method and Equalizing and Exchanging Self with Others, giving students both philosophical clarity and practical methods.
From the Flowering Dharma perspective, this retreat was not just a retreat but a meaningful step in nurturing a new generation of youth grounded in Bodhicitta and the wisdom of emptiness, so this precious Nalanda tradition continues for the benefit of all sentient beings.
