The Most Peaceful Place on Earth

Namo Buddha: The Most Peaceful Place on Earth (documentary)

(Isha lifestyle) Dec. 12, 2025: This documentary is a dedicated tribute to the Buddhist monks of Namo Buddha Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery in Nepal.

Where is peace? [Home?] How do we find it?

High in the Himalayas, this sacred place is not just a destination—it is a spiritual home where ancient [Vajrayana] traditions are kept alive.

I created this film to honor their way of life and share the profound peace of this holy site.

The Legend of Namo Buddha

I'm so hungry that I can't feed my cubs.

Located in the Kathmandu Valley, Namo Buddha is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in Nepal. It is the place where, according to legend, the historical Buddha [as the Bodhisattva] in a previous life sacrificed [parts of] his body to feed a starving tigress and her cubs [Mankiala]. This [unlikely but legendary] act of supreme compassion (karuṇā) echoes through the monastery to this day.
