Lama Yeshe – Life and Hard Times

Thursday October 25 at 2:30 p.m.

The Venerable Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche is Abbot and Retreat Master of Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery, Executive Director of the Holy Island Project and Chairman of Rokpa Trust. Having completed twelve years of solitary retreat, Lama Yeshe became a guiding force behind the development of Kagyu Samye Ling, which was the first and is the largest Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Europe. Appointed as Abbot in 1995, he is presently responsible for the spiritual development of over twenty resident monks and nuns as well as the lay community of Samye Ling and its associated centres around the world.

Lama Rinpoche travels widely, at the invitation of groups from many denominations. He is also closely involved in meetings between the Religious Leaders of Scotland.

His commitment to inter-faith dialogue and harmony also inspires his work on Holy Island. It is his vision of Holy Island, as a sacred place for people of all faiths to cultivate "world peace through inner peace", that is the guiding principle of its development. With this in mind Lama Yeshe initiated the building of the Holy Island Centre for World Peace and Health, a multi-million pound project which was opened to the public in 2003.
