Dhamma House is the home of Mr. Tsewang Norboo Vivek (or just Vivek), the founder President of the International Fellowship of Buddhist Youth Ladakh (IFBYL) and his sister Dolma, a devout practicing Buddhist. Both decided to open their home to all those people from around the world who are interested in learning about Buddhism and meditation. In 2004, after coming back from his studies in Myanmar after doing a special study in Buddhism and meditation, he renamed his home and called it Dhamma House, meaning home of the noble teachings of the Buddha or the home of the universal law. Vivek is also the founder of Open Ladakh – The alternate travel agency, taking you beyond tourism. If you wish to visit Dhamma House as part of a retreat or spiritual adventure, go to Open Ladakh’s website. Open Ladakh also engages in local humanitarian projects and have an English program for the locals, called Speak Easy.
