Help Build Thubten Chökor Ling
—
Gomde UK is a volunteer-led charity, rooted in the wish to make authentic Buddhist wisdom accessible to all. The creation of Thubten Chökor Ling is a natural and vital expression of this aspiration — a living temple that brings together practice, learning, care for the Earth, and community life.
Set within the peaceful landscape of the Lindholme Hall Estate in Yorkshire, Thubten Chökor Ling is envisioned as a sanctuary of calm, kindness, and clarity: an open and welcoming Buddhist temple and monastery built to serve generations to come.
This is not simply a building project. It is the creation of a place of refuge in a changing world — somewhere people can gather to meditate, learn, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Preserve living traditions, supporting the study, transmission, and practice of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom within a contemporary context.
Serve the wider community, offering education, volunteering, cultural exchange, and wellbeing initiatives that are inclusive and accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs.

All of us at Gomde UK
