Samye Ling

Description

Located off the west coast of Scotland, Holy Isle (Samye Ling's retreat center) has an ancient spiritual heritage stretching back to the 6th century. Our summer season runs from April to October and we welcome guests and day visitors during this time. 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. At the north of the island the Centre for World Peace and Health hosts a retreat and course programme. Between April and October we also welcome guests to stay at the Centre for personal retreats or holiday breaks. A closed Buddhist retreat takes place at the south of the island.
