Lama Öser is one of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche’s most senior Lamas and he speaks excellent english. We were delighted that he had an opportunity to visit Gomde Scotland again, and that he was accompanied by Ani Laura and our Gomde Lindhome family; Paulette, David and Paul. The sun shone and it was a wonderful weekend of teachings, Dharma activities and friendship, which was greatly enjoyed by everyone.

Ato Rinpoche has taught three times at Gomde Scotland. It is deeply appreciated. Thank you Ato Rinpoche for your  helpful and practical Buddhist teachings and personal advice.  For your accessibility and  great warmth. For really showing us how to really bring the ancient wisdom of the Buddhist teachings into our everyday lives.

Gomde Trust has the responsibility to care for nearly 50 acres of woodland.

That is why we organised this course through Varis, a local accredited training provider.
