Tibetan Buddhist Monastery

 

For many years when I have visited Scotland, I have made a point of going to this peaceful place. The monks and workers are a delight to meet and the feeling of calm created within yourself is a rare thing in this time of rush and bustle. I have included some photographs of my own, but please visit the site through the link in my Partner Site Section

 

 

 

 

Kagyu Samye Ling

1967 - 2007

Located in a peaceful valley on the banks of the river Esk in Scotland, Kagyu Samye Ling was the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre to have been established in the West.  It is a centre for wisdom and learning within the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and is open to people of all faiths and none.  You are welcome to come for day visits, short stays or to participate in our meditation retreats and courses available throughout the year.

Founded in 1967 and currently under the guidance of Abbot Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, Samye Ling is part of Rokpa Trust, a registered charity which has three main areas of activity: spiritual, humanitarian aid, and Tibetan medicine and therapy.  Our activity extends around the world through an international network of Dharma centres.
