Nalanda Monastery is devoted to providing a supportive environment for Western monastics of Tibetan Buddhism in the tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa. Under the guidance of its Spiritual Director, Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche, and its affiliation to ‘The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition’, Nalanda serves to provide a comprehensive environment for study, meditation and service through an inspiring example of ethical conduct and universal responsibility. Nalanda is devoted to supporting the cultivation of altruism and compassion through upholding the teachings of the Buddha, and serving to transform hearts and minds into their highest potential for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Nalanda offers a warm welcome, service and guidance to everyone who interacts with its community, irrespective of their spiritual beliefs, and aims to support the worldwide projects of Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche, and the wishes of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Geshe Losang Jamphel is presently the Abbot of Nalanda Monastery, and primary teacher of Nalanda’s study programs. As well as teaching introductory and intermediate courses on Buddhism in Spain and France, Geshe Jamphel also gives essential advice and financial help to all the monks of Tsethang Khangtsen in Sera Je Monastery. Geshe Sonam Ngödrub holds the position of Nalanda’s second teacher.
Nalanda MonasteryNalanda offers an in-depth five year residential FPMT Basic Program, an in-depth seven year residential FPMT Masters Program (beginning in 2013), as well as the opportunity for aspirant monks and novices to receive support, ordination training, and a valuable experience of Tibetan monastic life from a Western point of view.
In addition, Nalanda offers the opportunity for laypeople to join the monastery’s study programs, take advantage of guidance and counsel in their practice and studies, or serve the monastery as a resident volunteer.

The Spiritual Director of the FPMT, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, has expressed the importance of continually developing Nalanda’s facilities and programs in order to create a worldwide reach as a major seat of monastic learning in the West. To achieve this, a 15-year Master Plan has been drawn up to develop Nalanda’s land wisely, and cater for its growth. As an immediate priority, Lama Zopa Rinpoche has advised to begin with the planning and construction of new monks accommodation to be ready for the start of the FPMT Masters & Basic Programs in early 2013.
To attend a seven year residential FPMT Masters Program in a monastic setting is a truly exceptional and unique opportunity, and it will bring a large number of applicants from around the world to study at Nalanda. The FPMT Masters Program is inspired by the Geshe studies program in traditional Gelug monastic universities and provides serious students of Lama Tsongkhapa’s tradition greater depth of study.
Other phases of the Plan will include the construction of a new prayer hall, kitchen and dining facilities, and a small shop at the entrance of the property.

Harmony and unityAs seen on the first few pages of this brochure the existing buildings are made of wood, plaster (white) and red roof tiles.
These materials will also be used in the construction of the future buildings in order to create a natural harmony with the existing buildings and local landscape.
The future buildings will also integrate subtle influences of Tibetan architecture. These Tibetan architectural influences will be more prominent in the future temple, such as a copper roof and elaborate details in wood.
The plan has followed closely the advice of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Khandro-la and Dagri Rinpoche who specified where the different buildings should be placed. In addition, we have also consulted feng shui expert Ven. Jampa Lhundrup on the correct direction and areas for the buildings.

This will be made into an ornamental lake with a statue of Padmasambava
• Biological waste water treatment with reed bed filter for existing and future buildings
• A meandering driveway laid out in accordance with feng shui principles
• Driveway for fire brigade• Pipes and cables for first building phase and pipe

Project 1: InfrastructureThe first project is a culmination of many smaller projects in order to limit overall costs.
The new meandering driveway will be extended to accommodate the road alongside the future buildings, including the pipe and cable infrastructure for future expansion up to 2025: electricity, data, telephone, heating, water, rainwater collection and waste water. As a result, the reed bed waste water filtration system will be constructed for the existing and future buildings.
The lake, which is necessary in order to comply with fire safety regulations, will be combined with a flower rich garden and a 3-metre high Padmasambava statue in the lake. The surplus of earth created from the lake and reed bed construction will be used to create a barrier to the retreat huts, and to level the landscaped ground under the cedar trees.
The road will be constructed of 0/20 mm gravel, which is locally sourced, in a light yellow / brown colour. The unpaved secondary driveways are constructed of 10/20 mm gravel to create a stable surface to allow access by emergency services, while still maintaining a natural feel. The driveway will only be finished after the construction of the first building is completed.

Project 2: LandscapingIn this phase, only some of the landscape features are being created as shown in the Master Plan. However, there are some trees and vegetation that need to be replaced immediately. Firstly, a visual barrier needs to be created between the road and the reed bed filter. Nalanda’s overall site will change dramatically in this phase as some of the prominent trees will need to be felled. As a result, this phase also includes the replanting of some characteristic trees that can establish themselves quickly. This also takes in account the replanting of the cedar trees on the driveway in order to maintain the traditional aspect of a “château in the French landscape style” for future generations.

Project 3: Heating systemAt the moment, a large proportion of the fixed costs are for the heating of the existing buildings with gas supplemented by electrical heating. A centralised wood fuelled boiler will reduce these costs and reduce the environmental footprint of the monastery.
A specialised company is working on the alternative scenarios to integrate the wood fuelled boiler in the buildings and landscaping. The fuel source for the central boiler will probably be locally sourced wood chips in order to reduce operating costs.

Project 4: Monks buildingThe most important project is the new monksbuilding, which will be an extension of the old chateaux. This will be a building of 18 rooms, including 4 double rooms and 1 room for physically disabled people. The second floor will be reserved for two teachers and their attendant. The building will be constructed in accordance with the materials described on page 11. The building style is influenced by the layout of the large monastic universities in India, with an external corridor walkway.
Environmental responsibility is an essential part of the Buddhist path. As a result, Nalanda’s Master Plan aims at creating as much self-sufficiency as possible regarding electricity, water management and heating, as well as having a minimal impact on the natural and local aspects of the surrounding area.
This first phase of the Master Plan is created with sustainability in mind by using natural materials such as wood, clay and natural fibres for insulation. Wastewater will be processed through natural reed bed filters, and water consumption will be managed.
Power to provide the buildings with hot water and heating will be created through wood burners and solar panels. Additional electricity will be created by photoelectric cells and building designs are created to take maximum advantage of natural light and heat.
“As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility towards others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.”
~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
