About Us
- Introduction
The Tamang Buddhist Federation Nepal, established on July 9th, 2014, is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political organization committed to the empowerment and preservation of the Tamang Buddhist indigenous tribal community of Nepal. This federation is not just a single entity but a collective alliance, formed by the collaboration of multiple Buddhist organizations. These organizations have come together to work as a unified team, dedicated to the common cause of safeguarding and promoting the rich cultural and spiritual legacy of the Tamang people.
- History
The roots of the Tamang Buddhist Federation Nepal trace back to the recognition of a pressing need within the Tamang community—a need to protect their unique identity and cultural heritage in the face of modernization and external influences. Established in 2014, the Federation was born out of the collaborative efforts of various Buddhist groups who realized that a united front would be more effective in achieving their shared goals. Over the years, the Federation has played a pivotal role in revitalizing and preserving the Buddhist philosophy, Sambhota script, and traditional practices of the Tamang people. The organization has been instrumental in organizing cultural events, educational programs, and community initiatives that reinforce the Tamang identity and ensure its transmission to future generations.
- Mission
The mission of the Tamang Buddhist Federation Nepal is deeply rooted in the principles of compassion, wisdom, and community service. The organization strives to uplift the Tamang community by promoting Buddhist education and moral values, which are seen as the bedrock of a harmonious and enlightened society. The Federation is dedicated to providing the Tamang people with the tools and opportunities they need to improve their quality of life, focusing on areas such as education, cultural preservation, environmental conservation, and humanitarian support. By engaging enthusiastic youth, expert monks, and dedicated disciples from various Buddhist backgrounds, the Federation works tirelessly to develop the Tamang community into a self-reliant and flourishing society.

- We believe that the success of our efforts lies in collective unity, and that only through such unity can we achieve our goals.
- Recognizing the need to establish a purely religious and social organization to safeguard the collective rights, interests, values, and recognition of the Tamang community, we have come together to create the “Tamang Buddhist Federation, Nepal.”
- Through mutual coordination, harmony, and understanding, we strive to build an advanced, capable, and civilized society for the future of the Tamang people.
