Abstract

<p>The Kathmandu Valley, where is located nearly the center of Nepal, was listed as a wolrd heritage site owing to its cultureal specificity—2000 years' lively Newar culture. Buddhist monastery has an intimate relationship with Newar Buddhism which is developed independently in Nepal. It is also considered as a "living heritage" which still holds a variety of local gathering regional events. This study identifies and reveals the ideal way to maintain the lively cultures which are the inheritance of Buddhist monastery and the management body of monastery called Sangha, due to the relationship of the change of the monastic management (according to the decrease of Buddhism’s influence) and the preservation of the Buddhist monastery.</p>
