Welcome to a place where hearts unite, lives transform, and meaningful change begins.
The Bodhi Tree Educational Foundation and Bodhisattva Retreats invite you to be part of something greater—a movement of education, service, and self-discovery set in the sacred land of Bodhgaya, India. Here, every act of kindness creates ripples of impact, shaping a brighter future for children, communities, and yourself.
Bodhi Tree Educational Foundation
Empowering over 700 children, including those with special needs, the Bodhi Tree Educational Foundation is more than a school—it’s a beacon of hope.
Through quality education, holistic care, and sustainability initiatives, we are breaking the cycle of poverty and nurturing young minds to reach their full potential. Every lesson, every meal, every moment matters.
Bodhisattva Retreats
Awaken your spirit in the land of enlightenment.
Our Bodhisattva Retreats offer a heart-opening journey that blends mindfulness, cultural exploration, and hands-on service.
Meditate under the Bodhi Tree, connect with the local community, and rediscover purpose through compassionate action.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a call to live with heart and make a difference.
