The Silver Jubilee Celebration of Karma Shri Nalenda Institute, Rumtek Monastery, Sikkim, India.
Karma Shri Nalanda Institute was founded by His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa to preserve and propagate the noble teachings of Lord Buddha and, in particular, the Kagyu tradition of Mahayana Buddhism, to help spread the nectar of dharma throughout the world. Here, serious students are afforded the opportunity to train under the most experienced teachers in the living Buddhist tradition of Tibet: the sutras, tantras, and meditation. The Director of the institute is the Great Master and Regent His Eminence Goshir Gyaltshap Rinpoche.
Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche are the principal teachers at Nalanda Institute. Both senior abbots have written textbooks and commentaries that are used at KSNI, and under their guidance, fundamental curricular and teaching methodologies have been established. In 1997, Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin was appointed resident khenpo, and served in that capacity until 2002.
The present principal of the institute is Ven. Khempo Kalsang Nyima.
