UK - Eskdalemuir - Tibetan-Buddhist Lama touches baby head

A visiting Lama teacher of Kagyu Tibetan-Buddhism greets a westerner baby and its father in the Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist retreat centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. Touching the child on its head, the Lama smiles and appears the archetypal kind leader of the Buddhist religion. The dad and baby are western visitors in this peaceful location for spiritual cleansing and often to find answers to their complicated, modern lives. And many here have had a troubled youth and are sometimes escaping a criminal past, who arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation. This Tibetan Buddhist complex associated with the Kagyu School celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.
