Kagyu Samye Dzong London Tibetan Buddhist Centre for World Peace and Health is the London branch of Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland. Kagyu Samye Dzong London is under the direct guidance of Chöje Akong Tulku Rinpoche and Venerable Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, the co-founder and Abbot of Samye Ling respectively. == History == Kagyu Samye Dzong London initially opened in 1998 in the former Holy Trinity School near Waterloo Station in the London Borough of Lambeth. The centre remained here until 2007 when the site became subject to redevelopment as part of the Terry Farrell-designed Founder's Place scheme.〔http://www.terryfarrell.co.uk/project/?id=0201〕 This development was subsequently cancelled in 2010. The current Samye Dzong London centre is located in the former Bermondsey public library in Southwark, South East London, close to the River Thames, Tower Bridge and London Bridge. The building dates from 1892 and was one of the first free public libraries in London. Dr Alfred Salter MP and his wife Ada (the first woman mayor in London) used the library as a base from which many public health initiatives were launched. It remained in operation as a public library until the 1980s after which it was used as office space by London Borough of Southwark. The Grade II listed building is opposite Spa Gardens〔()〕 and is within the Bermondsey Spa Regeneration area. The building was bought by Kagyu Samye Dzong London from Southwark Council in 2009. It was renovated by a volunteer workforce and opened to the public in June 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kagyu Samye Dzong London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
