This from Labsum Gomdrub Ling: International Buddhist Institute for Cultivating the Three Higher Trainings:
Dear Friends,
I’d like to share with you a new project initiated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama:Labsum Gomdrub Ling: International Buddhist Institute for Cultivating the Three Higher Trainings.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Labsum Gomdrub Ling’s Patron, has a pioneering new vision to create a truly international Buddhist institute, bringing all the Buddhist traditions of the world together in study and practice, in India the land of the Buddha.
Under expert guidance from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Samdhong Rinpoche (Tibet’s Prime Minister and LGL’s Chief Advisor) and other great scholars, this vision is currently being developed into a comprehensive curriculum, which will:
- Offer in-depth, intensive intermediate and advanced-level study and practice of all the Buddhist traditions, initially in four root Buddhist languages – Tibetan, Chinese, Sanskrit and Pali – as well as in English, and eventually in other languages and traditions, such as Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc
- Embrace multi-disciplinary studies exploring the relationship between Buddhism and science, health, psychology, and other religious and philosophical traditions
- Create a truly non-sectarian (Rime) approach, returning to the texts common to all schools of Buddhism: the Buddha’s own words (sutras) and the original Indian commentaries (shastras)
- Follow in the footsteps of Nalanda University, using tools of logic and reasoning to critically examine the teachings and stimulate open debate, questioning and deeper learning
- Be delivered from a modern perspective, taught by a diverse range of scholars and practitioners, all expert in their field
- Be set in a comfortable, modern campus designed to meet the needs of international students
Your Part in His Holiness’s Vision…
Currently Labsum Gomdrub Ling is a small, but growing group of international volunteers in need of many more partners, ideas, volunteers and donations to turn His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s vision into reality.
Therefore, Labsum Gomdrub Ling is currently seeking ideas and input from members of the community about all aspects of the institute, and invites you to…

As LGL builds a large and diverse community of people, each of whom plays a part in bringing His Holiness’ vision into reality (from offering one idea or one dollar, to offering full-time volunteer service) it’s an exciting time and we hope you’ll join us!
