GAUTAM BUDDHA VIHARA DIYUN
Rebuilding the Glory of Gautam Buddha Vihara
A Sacred Legacy. A Shared Responsibility.
Welcome to Gautam Buddha Vihara, Diyun—a revered center of Buddhist faith, culture, and community life in District Changlang, Arunachal Pradesh.
Established in 1984 through the collective efforts and generosity of visionary community leaders and devoted followers of the Buddha, Gautam Buddha Vihara has stood for over four decades as a beacon of Dhamma, compassion, and spiritual awakening.
Located in the heart of Diyun Township, this sacred space serves not only as a place of worship but also as a symbol of unity, heritage, and identity for thousands of Buddhists in the region.
Today, we stand at a historic crossroads. Led by the Gautam Buddha Vihara Management Trust (GBVMT), our community has embarked on an ambitious, sacred mission: to completely reconstruct and revitalize our aging temple into an awe-inspiring landmark of Buddhist heritage, spiritual education, and cultural pride.
Our Vision
We envision Gautam Buddha Vihara as a world-class Buddhist spiritual and cultural center in Northeast India—a beacon of peace, faith, learning, and community that welcomes devotees, pilgrims, scholars, and visitors from across the world.
We aspire to establish a sacred environment where the timeless teachings of the Buddha continue to illuminate lives, strengthen communities, and foster mutual respect, compassion, and understanding among all people.
Project Status
With the generous support of devotees and well-wishers, the reconstruction of the Main Vihara has achieved a major milestone, successfully completing the First Roof Slab along with the Second and Third Tiers of the Stupa. Each step forward brings us closer to realizing a magnificent center of faith, culture, and spiritual learning.
Upcoming phases include:
• Harmika Construction
• Chattra and Finial Installation
• Interior Development
• Multipurpose Hall
• Monk’s Dormitory
• Library and Resource Centre
• Boundary Wall
• Meditation Garden and Open Spaces
