Bhikkhunis International Buddhist Magazine

Buddhism in Nepal has a rich and profound history that dates back to the time of the Buddha himself. Nepal, particularly the Kathmandu Valley, has long been a significant center for both Tibetan and Theravada Buddhism. Not only is Nepal the birthplace of the Buddha (in Lumbini), but it is also a region where Buddhist spiritual traditions have flourished for centuries. In this special edition, I focus specifically on Nepalese Buddhism. I explore the historical significance of this ancient tradition, shedding light on the invaluable Buddhist sites scattered across the country. This edition features articles on the history of Nepalese Buddhism, the contributions of revered senior monks, and insights from contemporary Nepalese monks and nuns. “Mettavalokanaya” International Buddhist Magazine is a registered publication in Sri Lanka, with an international standard. Distributed worldwide free of charge, it has reached 50 countries. The online edition enjoys a readership of over 500,000
