Campuses Setting

GHMZBRI is located in a Buddhist Holy Land – the Western Shrine in New York State, which was mentioned as "a virtuous and gracious place" in Sakyamuni Buddha's prophecy. Situated close to a great mountain and a spiritual river, with colorful flowers blooming, the Western Shrine possesses the most delightful scenery. It is a research and education center for training managerial talents specialized in promoting Buddhism, and also serves as a multicultural exchange center for everyone with the purpose of tourism, pilgrimage and spiritual practice.

GHMZBRI has two campuses, one is Shrine Campus (Campus S), and the other one is Amsterdam Campus (Campus A). Campus S is an important place to train professional preachers of GHMZBRI, focusing on medium and long term training.

Currently, in Campus S, seven classrooms are rented from Western Supreme Buddha Temple (174 Shrine Road, Fultonville, NY) for the teaching purpose of GHMZBRI. It includes one large classroom (1,300+ square feet), which can hold over 100 people, five middle-size classrooms (400+ square feet), which can hold 50-100 people. One of them is a multi-media classroom.

In addition, Campus S has a library, which has a large collection of all kinds of Buddhist Sutras, Vinaya, Sastra, and a large amount of books on literature, history, philosophy, art, and social science. There is internet access for students to search information. Furthermore, Campus S has a cafe and a dining room which can serve 100 people at one time.

Campus A is located in City of Amsterdam, NY, around 15 minutes' drive from the Western Shrine, where Campus S is located. In Campus A, the Main Building B (262 East Main Street) is GHMZBRI's property. It has a grand hall that can hold 400 people (about 8,000 square feet), a classroom that can hold 100-150 people (about 2,000 square feet), and a staff office (about 1,500 square feet).

With beautiful scenery and fully equipped facilities, GHMZBRI provides excellent studying and living environments in two campuses for all students, school faculty and staff.
