Retreat Centres
Lerab Ling, France
Lerab Ling is one of the leading centres of Tibetan Buddhist culture and learning in Europe. Since it opened in 1992 in southern France, it has been blessed by visits from some of the greatest masters of our time including His Holiness the Dalai Lama (in 2000 and 2008), His Holiness Sakya Trizin, Penor Rinpoche, Dodrupchen Rinpoche, Trulshik Rinpoche and Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok and many other contemporary Buddhist teachers.

Dzogchen Beara, Ireland
Rigpa’s long-term retreat centre in south-west Ireland, Dzogchen Beara offers a unique year-round programme of weekend retreats and seminars. Set on the wild and beautiful Beara Peninsula in south-west Ireland, the centre sits high on cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with breathtaking views of sea and sky.
The Dzogchen Beara Temple, completed in 2024, was built in the style of a traditional Tibetan monastery. This Temple will be a place for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism and in particular for the Dzogchen Longchen Nyingtik lineage.
