get associated with Nalanda International University Project

He, however, clarified that he had not received any formal invitation as yet but he was aware of the project.
"It is a good effort to revive the historic Nalanda University. I thank all those who have joined the project at present. It will not only benefit the followers of Buddhism but also enrich the people with Buddhist tradition, culture and religion," Dorjee said.
Karmapa further said Nalanda and Vikramshila are two centres of knowledge and efforts must be made for their revival. Born in Tibet, Karmapa said the Himalayan country lives in his heart.
To another question on ED action at a monastery in Himachal Pradesh, Dorjee said it had affected the freedom of movement of Agyen Trinley Dorjee, another Karmapa.
