Welcome to Gomde Lindholme Hall

An international centre for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism in the UK.

Lindholme Hall is situated in the centre of Lindholme Island, a 120 acre estate which lies in the heart of the Hatfield Moor National Nature reserve. The Hall is very secluded, and, as the land surrounding the island is protected, there is no local development. This creates a perfect environment for study, reflection and meditation; a refuge for contemplation away from the business of everyday life.

 

 ‘There are many types of philosophy, truth- seeking positions about what is. Buddhist philosophy has one special quality: that the awakened state is within, and we are in a state of readiness; it is ready to be discovered.
It is said in a scripture, “All sentient beings are buddhas, but they are covered by temporary obscurations.” Every sentient being has as their nature original wakefulness – what in the general teachings is called buddha nature. Because of possessing this original mind, the buddha potential, everyone can become enlightened. Everyone is allowed to be a buddha; everyone has that ability, that readiness.’

Indisputable Truth: Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

´Everything you have ever done has created karma, while every thought is delusion

Therefore you will never reach the undeluded state by chasing more delusion

Once the reference point of clinging to anything whatsoever has dissolved

So at ease is the yogi’s mind of self-liberated six senses´

Nectar for the Heart of Fortunate Disciples: Dudjom Rinpoche
