A unique and special opportunity has arisen to practice the Inner Tara sadhana guided by Drupon Lama Tenzin, amidst the emerald green woodlands of Gomde Scotland. The retreat will be from 30 May to 20 June 2025. However, Lama Tenzin has kindly said if you are not able to come for the full three weeks, you can also attend for just part of the retreat. He also said that it is open to all TTE practitioners or anyone with a keen interest to experience the transformative power of the Buddhist path. For more information and registration please contact tara2025@gomdescotland.org

It was amazing and we are so grateful that Rinpoche took the time and effort to come. Rinpoche gave empowerments, filled the stupa at Gomde, blessed Loch Ness and gave a beautiful talk in Inverness. Thank you Rinpoche 🙂

During this seminar Lama Öser will address how we can support ourselves and others in challenging times. Challenges like our own personal difficulties, the pandemic, climate change war and the cost of living can cause physical, mental, emotional, financial, and social disruptions in our lives.
