Showcase

KSDE welcomes groups as well as individuals, often hosting visits from societies, schools and universities.

Members of The University of Edinburgh Buddhist Society kindly volunteering at KSDE. Thank you one and all!

The dawn of a New Year in the Tibetan calendar is known as the month of miracles, when the effects of our activities are multiplied a millionfold. It is the ideal time for cultivating positive qualities of wisdom, compassion and loving kindness towards all beings.

Winter/Spring Programme 2019

We are delighted to launch our programme for Winter/Spring 2019. This website includes full details of the new Weekly Programme as well as all our Monthly Courses and Events from January 2019 until the end of April.

Our volunteers enjoy a well-earned cup of steaming hot chai after their great work tidying up the leaves around Kagyu Samye Dzong Edinburgh in October.

Every year we hold an Introduction to Buddhism course for those who are interested but may not know where to begin. As with most things, it’s best to begin at the beginning, which in this case is with the Buddha.

After an eventful and joyful anniversary weekend with Lama Yeshe Rinpoche featuring his precious teachings, a wonderful film of Akong Rinpoche in Tibet, a photographic exhibition and a Guru Rinpoche Puja and sacred feast we’d like to share with you a some pictures of the various events.
