Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, Buddhist monastery in Northumberland, United Kingdom
The northern wing of Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey contains meditation halls, while the southern section houses the residential quarters and common areas.
Rev. Master Houn Jiyu-Kennett established this monastery in 1972, transforming a former farm into a center for Soto Zen Buddhist practice in England.
The monastery follows the Serene Reflection Meditation Tradition, incorporating seated meditation practices and mindfulness techniques from Japanese Soto Zen Buddhism.
Visitors need to schedule appointments in advance, with the monastery closing annually from December 9 to December 27 for the Winter Retreat period.
The Order of Buddhist Contemplatives at Throssel maintains equal opportunities for both male and female monks to train and achieve leadership positions.
