Ganden Yiga Chozin Pokhara Buddhist Meditation Retreat Centre

Pokhara Buddhist Meditation Centre was started in 1993 to provide a peaceful place to present, study and contemplate on Tibetan Buddhist teachings.The centre offers courses on:

• Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, which develops the mind by teaching compassion and wisdom, and helping to understand why things happen.
• Meditation relaxes the mind and makes it peaceful. From tranquillity comes clarity and greater concentration.
• Yoga and Reiki relax and balance body and mind.
