Mission
KIBI has been conducting courses on Buddhism and the Tibetan and Sanskrit languages independently for more than 20 years. As a result, many people who studied here are now successful scholars of Buddhism, working in major universities worldwide.
During the year, public teachings and short-term courses on meditation, Buddhism, and monastic teacher training are offered at KIBI.
