Kagyu Samye Dzong Edinburgh is the city branch of 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.
OCTOBER’S MONTH OF RINPOCHES
Founder, Akong Tulku Rinpoche and Abbot, Lama Yeshe Rinpoche, two brothers who brought the gift of Dharma from Tibet to the West.
Although Akong Rinpoche passed away in 2013, his legacy lives on in the heart of all those who’s lives he changed so meaningfully for the better. Rinpoche’s PariNirvana is celebrated every October by his devoted brother, our precious Abbot Lama Yeshe Rinpoche, his loyal friend Khenpo Lhabu Drupon Rinpoche and his stalwart nephew Deputy Abbot Lama Katen, who lead the community in the annual Retreat at Samye Ling in honour of Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche.
Ahead of the retreat, Khenpo Drupon Rinpoche is giving a vital teaching at KSD Edinburgh on October 7th, elucidating Navigating the Stormy Seas of Samsara. Rinpoche will also give the Loong, or reading transmission for the Ngondro Practice. Space in the Shrine Room is limited so if you wish to attend and have not yet booked, please do so to be sure of a place.
In addition, our regular Meditation Sessions, Pujas and Courses continue throughout the month and include Part 2 of the Progressive Meditation Course with Ani Rinchen Khandro on October 25th.
We look forward to sharing with you all this and more at your Dharma Centre by The Shore in Leith, Kagyu Samye Dzong Edinburgh
