Having observed the miserable condition of ancient Buddhist monuments like Stupas and monasteries in-different parts of India and after having exhaustive discussions with various religious groups, sects and non-government organizations, this forum “The Buddhist Forum” was established in 2008 with their co-operation and support.

The immediate requirement of the hour was to save all the valuable and precious stupas, monuments and related relics of the life of Gautama Buddha and his followers. This forum is a non-profit, charitable organization with Honorary Advisory Members, Volunteers and paid staff.

Yamuna Nagar, India is the headquarter of this Forum for promotion and protection of Buddhist architecture, art, culture and religion in India and abroad.

Our Programmes

Our main program besides protection of ancient Buddhist sites includes organizing lectures, awareness and meditation camps, online discussions, preparation of documentary films and publishing magazines for promotion of Dharma as laid down by Buddha for bringing peace and harmony in human beings and the world.

Mission

The mission of establishing “The Buddhist Forum” as a forum is as follows:

1. To preserve and promote all the Buddhist relics in India and the world.
2. Organizing religious journeys to various Buddhist shrines which have lost their existence with time.
3. Re-establishing Buddhist art and culture by establishing museums and pilgrim centers.
4. Arranging lectures, meditation camps on the teachings of Buddha like the ‘four noble truths,’ ‘ the eightfold path’, the ‘triple jem’ for the spread of Dharma.

Location

“The Buddhist Forum” has been established near the old river Yamuna in the region, once watered by river Saraswati which is said to be one of the most sacred rivers of India in ancient times.
