Accommodation
We have a number of guest rooms available in the monastery for those wishing to stay overnight (guests may book a maximum of six nights).- When there are transmissions, teachings and courses taking place we hold accommodation back for participants. We therefore ask that these participants email us directly to register and book their accommodation.
- For those not joining a course, availability can be found on the calendar at the bottom of this page.
We endeavour to ensure your stay at Samye Ling is comfortable, enjoyable and meaningful. To show respect for ourselves and others and to protect Samye Ling as a sacred space, our Abbot, Choje Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche requests all who visit or stay here to follow these rules:
Five Golden Rules
1. To protect life and refrain from killing.
2. To respect other's property and refrain from stealing.
3. To speak the truth and refrain from lying.
4. To embrace health and refrain from intoxicants.
5. To respect others and refrain from harmful sexual activity.
Conditions
Alcohol, smoking (including e-cigarettes or vapes), illicit drugs, fishing or pet animals (with exception of guide dogs) are not permitted anywhere on Samye Ling property. Please also be aware that Samye Ling is not a drink or drug rehabilitation centre.
We have limited accommodation suitable for small groups or families, which is available from April to mid-October. For more information please contact bookings@samyeling.org, stating the number of responsible adults, and how many children (ie. young people under the age of 18) you wish to bring, and which dates you are interested in.
Otherwise, we are unable to accommodate children under 18 years at Samye Ling. Please click here for independent local self-catering and B&B accommodation.
