Scottish and Tibetan Origins ........... Akong Tulku Rinpoche and Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche

The world renowned Samye Ling Tibetan Centre and monastery was founded by two Tibetans abbot's; Chogyam Trungpa Tulku and Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche in 1967. It was the first of its kind in the Western world and nestles in the hills of the Scottish borders. Over 40 years it has subsequently grown and developed into a monastery and internationally renowned Buddhist centre. It is part of the Rokpa Trust which is a non-political spiritual and humanitarian organisation with branches throughout the world. The monastery at present is presided over by the Venerable Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, the brother of Akong Tulku.


Maintained through your donations, the centre is run by Project Director Gelong Karma Jiga and a team of dedicated volunteers. Samye Dzong Dundee is a branch of the Rokpa Trust, a registered charity.
