"The Dharma" is not just about creating a space; it's about nurturing a path—a Dharma Path—that everyone can tread upon. It is an invitation to walk in the footsteps of Siddhartha Gautama, to learn the Four Noble Truths by the banks of the Maya Devi pond, to meditate on the impermanence of life under the stars that once guided the great Tathagata. Our philosophy is rooted in the core tenets of Buddhism, embracing the wisdom that peace is not a distant treasure but an inner light that needs to be kindled. "The Dharma" is a reflection of the Eightfold Path, each step designed to guide, inspire, and enlighten.
We are building more than a physical space—we are crafting an experiential odyssey that leads to awakening and liberation. With every initiative, whether it be the lighting of a diya, the nurturing of a sapling, or the sharing of a meal, "The Dharma" rekindles the flames of hope and kinship. We are creating a place where the Sutta Pitaka's discourses resonate through interactive experiences, where the Vinaya Pitaka's discipline guides the community's heart, and where the Abhidhamma Pitaka's profound teachings elevate the intellect. Join us at "The Dharma," where every step is a meditation, every breath is a prayer, and every moment is an opportunity to live the truths taught by the Buddha. Together, let us build Lumbini into a sanctuary where the journey of every wandering soul finds its purpose, where every seeking spirit finds its peace, and where the Dharma continues to illuminate the way for all.
