Gampo Abbey

Gampo Abbey is a Shambhala Buddhist monastery which provides optimal conditions for its residents to embody the three-yana view of renunciation, benevolence and sacred outlook.

Located on the remote tip of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, Gampo Abbey provides the ground for the establishment in the west of the Buddhist monastic tradition, one of the living jewels of Shambhala. As such, it promotes an enlightened society’s vision of wakefulness, fearlessness, and gentleness, as well as openness to different spiritual traditions.

Gampo Abbey is a community whose monastic and lay members are devoted to contemplative practice, study and service, while abiding by the five precepts as a way to live simply and harmoniously.
