Hope for the Future

In an increasingly fast-paced and fragmented world, many people long for a sense of connection, calm, and deeper purpose. At Gomde UK, we believe that a 21st-century Buddhist monastery and temple can be more than a place of quiet contemplation — it can be a living, breathing sanctuary that serves the needs of today’s world.

Rooted in the authentic Buddhist tradition, Thubten Chökor Ling will be a home for dedicated monastics, a refuge for retreatants, a training ground for new generations of practitioners, and a welcoming space for anyone seeking peace, clarity, and connection — regardless of background or belief.

​Rather than turning away from the world, a temple and centre like Thubten Chökor Ling offers a way to meet it with more awareness and compassion. It’s a place where inner transformation becomes possible, where ancient wisdom meets modern needs, and where community — grounded in kindness, shared effort, and care for each other and the Earth — becomes a force for good.

​​
Inspired by both tradition and innovation, Thubten Chökor Ling will:
  • Provide long-term spiritual training and guidance through study and practice.
  • Welcome people from all walks of life to cultivate a happy, healthy, sustainable way of living.
  • Help preserve and explore the richness of culture and heritage in an accessible, practical way.
  • Offer a model of sustainable living, grounded in care for nature and the planet.
  • Be an inspiration and uplifting presence — a beacon of hope and peace nurturing hearts, minds and the land for today and generations to come.

    With your support, we are creating not just a building, but a sanctuary of calm, kindness, and clarity — built to benefit countless lives for generations to come.
