The Indian Himalayan Council of Nalanda Buddhist Tradition (IHCNBT) is set to host its inaugural general assembly, marking a significant milestone in efforts to revive and preserve the rich spiritual heritage of the Nalanda tradition. Scheduled to take place in India, the event will bring together senior Buddhist leaders, monks, and scholars from across the Himalayan region and beyond.

The general assembly aims to foster collaboration among Buddhist communities and strengthen the spiritual, cultural, and philosophical ties rooted in the ancient Nalanda tradition. This initiative also seeks to reinforce the message of peace, compassion, and wisdom central to Buddhism.

Leaders attending the event are expected to deliberate on ways to promote Buddhist teachings, protect the Himalayan ecosystem, and encourage youth engagement in spiritual and ethical learning. The gathering underlines India’s ongoing commitment to its historical role as the birthplace of the Nalanda tradition and a global center of Buddhist learning.
