We got a warm welcome here and lots of interesting information was provided about history of the place by the staff. Everything is well organised and so interesting to see. All of our questions were answered. I can easily recommended anyone with an interest in buddhism to visit. Clear email communications beforehand too.

Samye Dzong Edinburgh, in its previous incarnations, provided me with the solid foundation for my meditation practice of more than 12 years and counting! I have since practised across a number of different Buddhist schools (mainly Tibetan), and am grateful for the close and practical guidance that I received in those early days. Rest assured that this centre provides excellent teachings from a wonderful lineage, with a strong nonsectarian background.

The sun shines on Leith with this beautiful centre. What an amazing space for a shrine room, spacious, bright and peaceful, a great place to practice. When i first came to the centre at the small room in the New Town, i could never have imagined one day there would be this incredible centre, with so much going on, and such great teachers visiting. Ani Rinchen Khandro's dedication, care and hard work is amazing to see, a real inspiration to all who visit.
