Promoting A Modern Education While Preserving Traditional Buddhist Values - Endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
The Ngari Institute of Buddhist Dialectics is a multi-purpose center situated in Ladakh, the northernmost region of India. Overlooking Saboo Village and near the regional capital, Leh, the Institute occupies 20 hectares of mountainous Himalayan terrain. In this remote area, many villages face resource scarcity, daily struggles, and limited educational opportunities.
Endorsed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in 2008 and personally inaugurated by him in 2016, the Institute aims to enrich the lives of local children. We offer educational opportunities that blend modern learning with ancient Buddhist wisdom, a tradition that has been part of the region for over 1,000 years.
The Ngari Institute provides housing, educational support and a nurturing environment for children from economically disadvantaged families, single-parent households, or those who are orphaned. We also support novice monks and any family in demonstrated need.

Registration is not required, but a Love Offering is gratefully accepted.
