The Buddhist Centre in Kilmainham, Dublin 8

In 1977, a handful of Irish people interested in this tradition set about establishing a centre, initially based at North Terrace in the old railway estate of Inchicore.  Its purpose was to provide a communal space for study and meditation practice and to invite and host visiting teachers.

The centre is connected to Samye Ling, founded in 1967 and now one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in Europe.  It sits in the remote Eskdalemuir valley in southern Scotland.  

The Dublin centre is currently under the guidance of Ani Yonten.
