Rangjung Yeshe Institute is pleased to announce a summer of intensive language training and Buddhist Studies for international students.

Our 2007 language programs provide full immersion into Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Nepali languages including the opportunity to live with local Tibetan and Nepali families. Our Buddhist Studies program provides an opportunity to study Buddhist philosophy taught by learned Tibetan Lamas and a practical introduction to personal meditation training.

Classes are held at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery, just a few minutes walk from the Great Stupa of Boudhanath in the Kathmandu Valley. All summer programs are fully accredited by Kathmandu University.
