Vipassana Meditation Centers In Toulouse Near Me

4worldlovers: One of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the West, established in 1981 by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche and located in the South of France. Named after Nalanda Monastery in ancient India, we offer a conducive environment for monastics, programs in Buddhist Philosophy, meditation retreats and opportunities to serve.

To become a monk of Nalanda, one would have to first complete the aspirant questionnaire, and then if accepted by the community of Gelongs, a mentor would be appointed as a guide.

Our retreat huts are available for short term and long term personal retreats. We also host a range of group retreats during the summer months of July & August.

"We’re establishing Nalanda Monastery to produce many saints and scholars. That’s why I called it Nalanda. We can be just like the ancient Indian monastery Nalanda, which produced such great Indian pandits as Atisha, Naropa, and Shantideva. I really feel that our own monastery can produce such saints and pandits."
