Lotus Academic College not only serves introductory courses on the basics of Buddhist philosophy, art, iconography and some main aspects of Nepalese Buddhism, but also tries for the application of Buddhist teachings in our daily life. To meet the purpose we are introducing Applied Buddhism for the first time in Nepal. Applied Buddhism is a broad umbrella under which all the essential aspects of life such as physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing as well as philosophical, bioethical, financial and modern scientific aspects could be incorporated. This included the Buddhist ideas practiced by the three major schools of Buddhist thoughts in modern era, namely the Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. We aim to give more emphasis on the traditional culture and social aspects of Buddhism.
