“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion.

“Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.

If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism.”

- Albert Einstein

Tradition: Gaden for the West – Interpreting and Integrating Gelug Tibetan Buddhism Spiritual Director: Zasep Tulku Rinpoche

The mud brick meditation hall or Gompa with its specially constructed stained glass windows and polished wooden floors, seats 40 and has a beautiful energy from the numerous retreats conducted by Zasep Rinpoche, approximately every two years since its construction. Our half day sits are suitable for beginners and you can come and sit for a short while or for longer. All events are by donation and are held at Vajra Ling unless stated otherwise.

Come and enjoy a gentle ½ day of sitting and walking meditation in this beautiful setting blessed by the many retreats and teachings given by eminent teachers. There will also be contemplation to open the heart and still the mind followed by a short discussion. Bring lunch to share if you wish.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
