about Elk

Nestled on an old apple farm in the coastal town of Elk, LDG California offers a serene environment to deepen Buddhist meditation and studies. Between practice sessions and teachings in the meditation hall, one can meander the trails through the orchards, meadows, and redwood forests, sit by the peaceful pond, visit the traditional Newari stupa at the heart of the land, and enjoy the bountiful community garden.

Residents at LDG California maintain a daily practice focusing on the Dudjom Tersar Troma cycle. Rinpoche leads teaching and practice retreats in Elk throughout the year. If you want to visit or have any questions, please email us at LDGsangha@gmail.com.
