Marpa House Buddhist retreat and meditation centre is dedicated to the advancement of Tibetan Buddhism. Established in 1973 by the Venerable Lama Chime Rinpoche, the centre is now run by the Dharma Trust. Here is the opportunity to learn and practice, in rural surroundings, the oral transmissions of the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Rurally situated in England in the village of Ashdon near Saffron Walden, on the border of Essex and Cambridgeshire, Marpa House is conveniently situated near London and Cambridge.
Any visitor interested in Buddhism is welcome.
The tradition is based on the teachings of the four great masters- Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa and Milarepa- who developed the system of meditation known as Mahamudra. According to tradition the teaching was imparted to Tilopa by Vajradhara. From Tilopa it was transmitted to Naropa, from Naropa to Marpa, from Marpa to Milarepa, and then from teacher to disciple to this day.
