Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University, established under the auspices of the Bahujana Hitaya Education Trust in Tripura, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Buddhism and its profound impact on humanity. Situated in the heart of the Sabroom Sub-Division in South Tripura District, the University embodies a vision of enlightenment, compassion, and global harmony.
Founded on the principles of the Bahujana Hitaya Education Trust, a public charitable institution registered in Tripura on June 18, 2001, our mission transcends mere education. We are committed to uplifting not only the Buddhist community but also empowering the marginalized and downtrodden across all strata of society.
At the core of our ethos lies Buddhism, hailed as India's greatest contribution to Asia and beyond. Revered as 'The Light of Asia,' Buddhism has traversed continents for over two millennia, emanating from its origins in the sacred lands of the Gangetic basin. Dhamma, the quintessence of Buddhist ethics, embodies values of love, compassion, and non-violence, offering a beacon of hope amidst the global challenges of hate, conflict, displacement, and environmental degradation.
Buddhist pedagogy emphasizes the cultivation of the mind and the transformation of human potential into modern, enlightened individuals capable of harmonious coexistence with nature. In this transformative journey, education serves as a catalyst for personal and societal renewal, instilling resilience and sustainability in the fabric of our existence.
Against this backdrop, the establishment of a world-class Buddhist University in southern Tripura assumes paramount significance. Positioned as a nexus between South Asia and the ASEAN countries, Tripura emerges as a focal point for cultural exchange and dialogue, where Buddhism thrives as a living tradition.
Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University (DDIBU) epitomizes four cardinal principles: "Dhamma Dipa," symbolizing a guiding light illuminating the path of enlightenment; "International," reflecting our global outreach and engagement; "Buddhist," signifying our commitment to universal values and perspectives; and "University," representing the pinnacle of knowledge and learning.
Our endeavor extends beyond academic excellence to foster an intellectual milieu conducive to cross-cultural exchange, universal peace, and collective well-being. Scholars from diverse Buddhist traditions and faiths converge at DDIBU to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaboration, enriching the tapestry of human experience and nurturing a sustainable future for generations to come.
As stewards of this noble vision, we embrace the imperative to safeguard our planet and its inhabitants, recognizing our shared responsibility to cherish and preserve the precious gift of life. Through the transformative power of education, we aspire to illuminate minds, uplift spirits, and inspire hearts, ushering in an era of enlightenment and harmony for all.
