Many of our visitors come to Jampa Ling just to have somewhere quiet to stay. We have beautiful grounds for walking, a meditation room, a library and lots of other facilities to help your stay be as relaxed as possible. A retreat mobile is available for those who would like to be completely solitary. Booking ahead is essential.
Ven. Rinpoche will talk about a particular aspect of Buddhist teaching or meditation. Buddhism is sometimes described as a science of the mind, and invariably the topics discussed are very practical and useful in everyday life. If possible, you can arrive on the Friday evening, if you wish. There will be a meeting on the Friday evening which will go through the timetable for the weekend. These weekends are in silence from the Saturday morning until lunch time on the Sunday, but there will be an optional discussion session on the Saturday evening where you can talk to other attendees and ask questions.
