The Lindholme Hall Estate, Tibetan Buddhist Centre

(2012 — Present)

Gomde UK, The Lind­holme Hall Es­tate is a Bud­dhist Cen­tre set with­in an idyl­lic 180-acre ‘is­land’, which lies with­in the Hum­ber­head Peat­lands Na­tion­al Na­ture Re­serve, in the cen­tre of Hat­field Moor, South York­shire. Our Spir­it­u­al Di­rec­tor is the re­nowned Ti­bet­an Bud­dhist Mas­ter, Chökyi Nyima Rin­po­che. The cen­tre is named after the land of Rin­po­che’s fore­fa­thers, Gomde, which trans­lates as place of med­i­ta­tors. In this se­clud­ed and beau­ti­ful en­vi­ron­ment, we pro­vide au­then­tic Bud­dhist teach­ings and have fa­cil­i­ties for peo­ple to stay, study and prac­tice as well as un­der­take sol­i­tary re­treats.

In Sep­tem­ber 2022, Chökyi Nyima Rin­po­che clar­i­fied that the cen­tre would be­come a mon­as­tery with a large tem­ple in the com­ing years. Gomde UK will be a place that nur­tures and trains a mon­as­tic sangha, pre­serv­ing the source of the dharma for gen­er­a­tions to come.

Rin­po­che has named the Tem­ple, Thubten Chökor Ling — ‘The Is­land where the Wheel of Buddha’s Teach­ings Turns’.

For many years Gomde UK has been ac­tive in the fields of sus­tain­a­bil­ity and con­ser­va­tion. We have strong green cre­den­tials, in­clud­ing a plan for net zero car­bon emis­sions, which can be reached by 2022. The 180-acre es­tate, which in­cludes 60 acres of rare uncut peat­land, is man­aged under a con­ser­va­tion stew­ard­ship agree­ment (HLS) en­a­bling all our land man­age­ment to have con­ser­va­tion as its pri­or­ity. In ad­di­tion, a group of ex­pert vol­un­teers, the Lind­holme Old Moor Man­age­ment Group (LOM), help man­age the rar­est and most frag­ile parts of the Es­tate and pro­vide ex­pert ad­vice for our wider con­ser­va­tion ef­forts.
