  • The Buddha seen as part of a shrine in the prayer room of Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist retreat centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland.

Shrines can vary from a small, simple shrine in the home or garden of a Buddhist, through to the large, ornate shrines or temples found across the globe. At the Samye Ling monastery, most visitors are westerners 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.
