The story of Tharlam Manjushree School is rooted in a vision of compassion, wisdom, and education. Established under the guidance of Tharlam Monastery, the academy was created to provide young monks and students with an education that harmonizes both modern academic knowledge and the timeless values of Buddhism.
Tharlam Monastery, with its deep spiritual heritage, has always been committed to nurturing not only the practice of Dharma but also the holistic development of children. The idea of a school within the monastery arose from the need to give young monks an opportunity to receive quality education while remaining deeply connected to their monastic training and cultural roots.
From its humble beginnings, Tharlam Tharlam Manjushree School has grown steadily over the years. What started as a small initiative with a handful of students and teachers has today become a vibrant educational community. With dedicated teachers, a growing number of students, and the generous support of sponsors and well-wishers from around the world, the academy has flourished into a place where learning and compassion go hand in hand.
The school not only provides formal education in subjects such as English, Nepali, mathematics, and science, but also places strong emphasis on Buddhist philosophy, moral values, meditation, and traditional arts such as thangka painting. This unique blend ensures that students grow into individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also kind, mindful, and socially responsible.
Throughout its journey, Tharlam Manjushree School has organized a wide range of activities—sports, cultural programs, charity works, environmental initiatives, and educational outings—that enrich the lives of the students and create lasting memories. Each passing year adds new achievements and new experiences, strengthening the foundation of the school and carrying forward its noble mission.
Today, Tharlam Manjushree School stands as a symbol of hope and opportunity for children who wish to receive both education and spiritual guidance. With the blessings of the Sangha, the dedication of the teachers and staff, and the love of sponsors and well-wishers, the academy continues to grow as a place where young hearts and minds are nurtured for a brighter future.
Our Mission
At Tharlam Manjushree School, our vision is deeply rooted in the Buddhist path — to overcome samsara and realize enlightenment. We strive to nurture future bodhisattvas by combining education with spiritual training.
We believe that true transformation arises when wisdom and compassion are cultivated side by side with knowledge and skill. That is why our approach integrates both academic learning and spiritual practice, guiding students not only toward success in life, but also toward awakening for the benefit of all beings.
Why We Exist
Many of our students come from remote or underserved Himalayan regions, where access to both education and monastic training is limited. At Tharlam Manjushree, they receive a nurturing environment rooted in Buddhist wisdom, discipline, and modern learning—entirely free of cost.
