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."

Welcome to the Dhamma Mahi website, the French centre for Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka and his assistant teachers, in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin

Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living. For those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, an Introduction to Vipassana by Mr. Goenka is available.

The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.

If you wish to take a course, read the Code of Discipline, choose a date from the course schedule, and then follow the instructions for registration.
