Offering peace, serenity and refuge from the ordinary world.
Comfortable private rooms and dormitory quarters situated in a natural forested 30-acre setting near Pahala in the Kau District of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling "Immutable Island of Melodious Sound" is a Buddhist temple and retreat located on 25 acres in Wood Valley, the Ka'u District of the Island of Hawai'i. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has visited and taught here twice. Many other well known Tibetan lamas of all lineages are invited yearly to teach programs open to the public.
Wood Valley Temple, as it is known locally, has a Guest House with 8 rooms, 3 1/2 baths. It accommodates 15 people or a small group comfortably. Guest rooms have an Asian Pacific decor, and original works of art grace the facility. Quiet, charming and peaceful - this is a wonderful place to relax, reflect and meditate. Staying here is a memorable experience and everyone is welcome!
Established in 1973 by the Venerable Nechung Rinpoche, Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling is a center for the dissemination of the Buddhist teachings, a place for great masters to teach and for students to receive and actualize these instructions through contemplation and meditation.
Retreats with visiting lamas of all four lineages of Tibetan Buddhism are conducted at the temple several times a year. These programs are on various aspects of Buddhist philosophy & meditation. Subjects cover all stages of practice in Buddhist Sutra and Tantra. From the important groundwork of correct motivation, altruistic thought to the relative and ultimate views of reality, the levels of practice vary according the person.
The courses are held on weekends, but often span into the weekdays, and sometimes month long retreats take place with 4 sessions a day devoted to meditation and teaching instruction. Traditionally, in such gatherings, lamas give the verbal transmission and explanation of teachings and practices, along with bestowing empowerments for Tantric practices when applicable.
The temple's remote location, its peaceful surroundings, and the blessings accumulated from the dozens of great masters who have taught, prayed and meditated here, offers a perfect setting for contemplative retreat, spiritual training and profound insight.
The retreat and guest house offers a very special space for individuals and small groups who want a quiet, peaceful atmosphere to relax, meditate and reflect on life. It is an ideal destination for people to experience rural Hawai'i, away from the crowded tourist areas and resorts.
Nestled in an old eucalyptus forest, the beautifully landscaped grounds are a natural extension of the environment and gardens filled with tropical flowers, plants and exotic fruits.
An early plantation temple that has been remodeled to serve as a retreat and guest house, the upstairs has a meditation hall dedicated to Tara, the female aspect of enlightenment and activity. The temple and guest house were dedicated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during His first visit in 1980.
