Ayang Rinpoche and the Amitabha Foundations worldwide are constructing a major retreat center in Bodhgaya, the holy city where Buddha Shakyamuni became enlightened, and where every year Rinpoche holds his 10-day Phowa Course.

When completed, this complex will be a center for daily cultural and spiritual activities rich with the history and teachings of Buddha Amitabha and pureland Sukhavati. The complex contains a library, and will also have a sister “Cultural Center” with a Colombarium where disciples may place remains to be kept in the holy Vajra seat of Bodhgaya.
