Key Programs
Each year, LBDFI joyfully hosts the International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony (ITCC) in Bodhgaya, the sacred Seat of Enlightenment
In addition, LBDFI organizes Turning the Dharma Wheel Programs at ancient Buddhist holy sites throughout India
The Foundation also supports the production of Buddha statues to be given out to the local Indian monasteries and temples
Each year, LBDFI joyfully hosts the International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony (ITCC) in Bodhgaya, the sacred Seat of Enlightenment. This extraordinary gathering brings together nearly 25,000 devoted participants, including thousands of Buddhist monks from Southeast Asia, who chant the sacred Pali Canon over twelve days from December 2–13. This support helps ensure food and ceremonial costs are covered each year.
In addition, LBDFI organizes Turning the Dharma Wheel Programs at ancient Buddhist holy sites throughout India, helping to revive and honor the country’s profound spiritual heritage. Each year, we focus on at least one regional program that supports monastics in leading Tipitaka chanting ceremonies, participating in Walks for Peace, and offering Dharma teachings within local communities. Through these efforts, the living teachings of the Buddha continue to spread throughout India, reaching new generations and strengthening the presence of the Dharma in the land of its origin. We usually support a group of 25-30 monastics to participate in this yatra along with supporting the ceremonial offerings of food and dana.
The Foundation also supports the production of Buddha statues to be given out to the local Indian monasteries and temples, as well as the training and education of new Indian monks, ensuring the continuity of the Buddha’s teachings.
Your generous support helps sustain the many ceremonial, educational, and logistical efforts required to bring these programs to life. In gratitude, we will be honored to announce and acknowledge your donation during the upcoming International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony.
