Welcome to Lotus Research Centre (LRC) !

Lotus Research Centre (LRC) is a non-profit and non-government organization registered in 1993 under the Institution Registration Act of Nepal. It has an objective to preserve and promote Buddhist culture of Nepal Mandal (Kathmandu Valley). LRC has launched Lotus Academic College for Buddhist Studies since 2007 which provides Post Graduate Diploma level courses on Buddhist Studies.

LRC, Since 1988

Encouraged by the moral support and the assistance of Late Rev. Shozo Iijima, then President and members of Shishin-kai, Japan, LRC was founded in 1988, at the initiative and joint efforts of a group of enthusiastic Buddhists, intellectuals and other well-wishers. For the continuous running of the organization to the present date the roles of Rev. Shucho Takaoka, Mr. Norimichi Iijima (Head of Shishin-kai Board Members) have been very appreciable and encouraging.

Since its establishment, LRC is moving ahead with various programmes actively participated by the intellectuals, the national and international scholars and other local gentry in the field of research, seminars, conferences, trainings, essay competitions. It also publishes a journal and sacred Buddhist scriptures on a regular basis. LRC has also been creating a digital archive of resources on the cultural heritage of Nepal Mandala.
