About this Shibir

This week-long residential retreat invites participants to walk the path of human equality as illuminated by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and the teachings of the Buddha. The shibir blends silent meditation, dhamma study, and group reflection — held in the calm forested grounds of the Hsuan Tsang Retreat Center, Bhordharan.

Whether you are stepping onto the meditation cushion for the first time or returning to deepen an established practice, the program is designed to meet you where you are. Days move gently between guided sittings, walking meditation, dhamma talks and shared meals.
