Sangdo Palri Temple of Wisdom and Compassion

The Sangdo Palri temple is located in the main meadow of Longchen Jigme Samten Ling, MSB’s retreat center in southern Colorado. The meadow is the heart of the land. In the early years of Samten Ling, it was the setting for ngondro and sadhana teachings held by Kongtrul Rinpoche under a tent in the summer months; now it provides a grand approach to the temple. Steep rocky mountains frame the structure from behind, giving it a commanding presence, while the small hills surrounding the meadow will keep the temple largely out of sight from the nearby town. The upper shrine rooms offer magnificent views of the valley and surrounding mountains.

To schedule a tour of the Temple, please call 719-270-1198 and leave a message, or email us at [email protected]. Tours take place between 10am – noon. Please call in advance, as it takes a days notice to set up a tour, since most tours are guided by people in our retreat community. Also please note: we are located the the top of a steep 1 mile road, all-wheel drive or 4wd vehicles are required. We can give you a ride up the hill if you need one. Winter weather may effect tour schedule.
