The temple offers a programme of weekend courses and teachings in Buddhist philosophy and meditation with accommodation available in a peaceful and tranquil setting.
Dundrennan Abbey is one of the most impressive to survive from Scotland's 13 Cistercian monasteries and today many of the stone carvings around the abbey can be still touched. Mary Queen of Scots spent her last night on Scottish soil in this Cistercian abbey, which was founded in 1142 by Fergus, Lord of Galloway, with the help of King David I. Once home to a community of Cistercian monks and now under the care of Historic Scotland, Dundrennan Abbey is amongst the best preserved late 12th century Cistercian architecture in Scotland. As you explore the abbey you can't fail to be charmed by the peaceful beauty of Dundrennan's ruins which stand in a beautiful small and secluded valley - the remoteness is in keeping with the strict rules and observance of the Cistercian order.
