“Through meditation, I have found a sense of inner peace and a deeper understanding of myself.”

Our aim is a happy, healthy, equal, and just society as envisioned by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Urgyen Sangharakshita. We offer Buddhist training to serve society towards this goal.
Since this centre is offering various programs throughout the year, Dhammacharis and Dhammacharinis who are members of Triratna Bauddha Mahasanga offer teachings and guidance. Buddhist trainings offered in this campus are based on the interpretation and the system of practice of Dhamma developed by our founder, Ven. Sangharakshita.
We offer residential retreats from 1 to 2 days to a month. We also offer long-term (one month to two years duration) training for young men. A vibrant community of about 20 young men is a driving force behind this centre. They live and work here and serve the Dhamma. Our speciality is that we do not charge for teaching and training courses; accommodation is free, and participants are requested to contribute to their food costs only on a no-profit no-loss basis. If participants are from poor families, we arrange funds to meet their food costs. All our work is supported by local well-wishers and Buddhists. They keep responding to the needs of the centre and donate as per their capacities. We encourage all those who wish to see Dhamma make a difference to people’s lives to contribute financially as well as by their talents, expertise and skills.
Hsuan Tsang Retreat Centre is part of Triratna Buddha Mahasangha. It is known as Triratna Buddhist Community Worldwide. It was built in the years 1991 and 1992 and started offering programs from 1992. The Main Stupa of the Campus, which is the main attraction for locals, was inaugurated in October 1993.
To create a compassionate and awakened society by nurturing mindful individuals grounded in the teachings of Lord Buddha and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar - promoting inner peace, equality, and social harmony.
Our mission is to provide a peaceful and nurturing retreat where individuals can practice meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection in a supportive environment. Through the teachings of Buddhism, we aim to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and ethical living while encouraging awareness of caste and gender equality through education and open dialogue.
