Samye Ling

Description

Located off the west coast of Scotland, Holy Isle has an ancient spiritual heritage stretching back to the 6th century. At the north of the island the Centre for World Peace and Health hosts a retreat and course program from April to October and welcomes guests and day visitors during this time. A closed Three-year Buddhist retreat center for women is found at the south of the island. A second Three-year Buddhist retreat center for men is located nearby on Arran Isle. The founder and vision holder of the Holy Isle Project is Lama Yeshe Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master in the Kagyu tradition. Lama Yeshe is also Abbot of Samye Ling Monastery in Dumfriesshire, where he lives most of the year.
