International Council of Gurung Buddhism

International Council of Gurung Buddhism A syncretic Blend of Gurung Cultural Ideals and Buddhism Manifests Gurung Buddhism. What is Gurung Buddhism?

It is characterized by synthesizing traditional cultural values and practices with the principles of Buddhism. Gurung Buddhism is the synthesis of Gurung traditional rituals, Nyingma Buddhism, and Pye-ta-Lhu-ta, the oral testimony of Gurung with the required transformation. An agreement of Khegi-Priests (shamans), Bonpo Lam (pre-Buddhist monk), and mainstream Buddhist monks (non-sectarian) manife

st Gurung Buddhism if everyone in the alliance acknowledges Panchasila. The bottom line of this philosophy is an agreement to Panchasila and the Gurung-traditional ritual. Any culture, rituals, beliefs, practices, traditions, etc., that do not contradict Buddhism's five precepts (Panchasila) will fall under Gurung Buddhism (Bottom line). It brings more pujas for those monks who depend on pujas for sustenance. This philosophy will not agree with the individuals who disagree with Panchasila and the Gurung-traditional culture.

With profound sorrow, we extend our heartfelt condolences to all the bereaved families and relatives of the brave Gen Z martyrs—our beloved children—who sacrificed their lives during the peaceful agitation against corruption and injustice in Nepal.

May their noble souls attain eternal peace. Their courage and sacrifice will remain forever engraved in the heart of the nation. We stand in solidarity with the grieving families, sharing in your pain and honoring the selfless love of your children for truth, justice, and a better Nepal.

We pray for healing, unity, and strength for our people, and may Nepal rise with integrity, harmony, and justice—guided by the sacrifices of our martyrs.

May Peace Prevail in Nepal
