Samye Ling Trip

Each year as part of the Intermediate 2 and Higher course pupils studying Buddhism have an opportunity to visit the largest Tibetan Buddhist Temple in Western Europe.  Pupils have an opportunity to have a tour of the Temple and peace garden by a resident monk or nun and can ask questions.  They can also see how worship takes place at one of the prayers in the Temple.  There is also a fabulous shop which stocks Buddhist artefacts and the Tibetan tearooms.
