Prajnopaya (Sanskrit. Prajna + Upaya | Wisdom + Compassion) is devoted to a non-sectarian and non-denominational approach to Dharma. Students are encouraged to engage in the study of the Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana (Triyana) schools. Prajnopaya also brings together all five schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The Institute continues to grow under the chief patronage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, along with the heads of the other Tibetan Buddhist lineages, and provides a healthy environment for spiritual dialogue. Prajnopaya Institute emphasizes critical study combined with serious practice.
