About
Welcome to Kagyu Samye Dzong Edinburgh (KSDE) Buddhist Meditation Centre. We are the city branch of the world renowned Samye Ling Monastery, which was established in 1967 as the first Centre of Tibetan Buddhism in the West.
The centre offers a beautiful space for meditation and courses to benefit mind, body and spirit. People of all all faiths and none are welcome.

As you may know, the UK Kagyu Monlams held at Samye Ling will draw to a close on June 2nd, then segue into celebrations in honour of Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche’s 80th Birthday! As many of you will be participating in the Monlams and celebrating our precious Lama, or indeed take Refuge with him on June 3rd, KSDE has not scheduled any events during that time. Our regular programme will resume from Monday June 5th.
Details of all these and the other events listed below are available on our website. Booking is essential, unless otherwise stated.
