The International Buddhist Academy in Kathmandu was founded in 2001 by Ven. Khenchen Appey Rinpoche for the preservation, translation and transmission of the Dharma, and the training of a new generation of monastic leaders.
The International Buddhist Academy is located in Kathmandu, Nepal, an ancient center of the Buddha's teachings, only minutes away from the Great Stupa of Boudhanath, an important center of pilgrimage and a Unesco world heritage site.
The IBA campus offers good facilities, a beautiful shrine room, individual accommodation, a large library, and clean food. Join us to study and practice the Dharma under qualified teachers.
