Gar Trinley Yongkhyab Ling is a Vajrayana Buddhist group in Scotland, UK, following the Drikung Kagyu lineage and the enlightened vision of His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche. Under the spiritual direction of Venerable Dorzin Dhondrup Rinpoche, who visits from Singapore, we are based in Edinburgh and surrounding area.
We meet on Tuesday and Sunday. Please go to the Regular Practice page (Calendar of Events) for updates or our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GarTrinleyYongkhyabLing . Everyone is welcome to join us, regardless of experience in Buddhism – the more the merrier! We hope to meet you soon.

Donations are always welcome! We are working towards enabling Teachers to visit and teach in person on a regular basis, and towards the future establishment of a permanent home for the Sangha here in the UK.

Resources from the 2024 visit of our guiding teacher Venerable Dorzin Dhondrup Rinpoche
From 11th – 13th October 2024 we gave a warm welcome to the Venerable Dorzin Dhondrup Rinpoche, who generously visited Scotland this autumn to share his guidance, love and wisdom with us all. This was truly a precious opportunity not to be missed by Dharma practitioners and friends of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, and everyone interested in learning more about Buddhism. Thank you Rinpoche!
