Samye Hermitage New York is a center for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Situated on 25 acres in the rolling hills of Upstate New York, the natural beauty of our surroundings provides a perfect backdrop for the integration of this precious wisdom tradition.
With a lineage that derives from the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions, specifically that of Chokgyur Lingpa, Samye Hermitage maintains daily sessions of traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice, as well as weekly classes on meditation and Buddhist philosophy. During the summertime, we offer longer-term retreats guided by senior teachers, and welcome retreatants to join our community of service and spiritual growth.
