Gampo Abbey, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada

Gampo Abbey is a Western Buddhist monastery in the Shambhala tradition, set at the edge of the Pleasant Bay community on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Its grounds hold the Stupa of Enlightenment, consecrated in August 2001 and housing relics of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and Söpa Chöling, the three-year retreat center founded in 1990.

Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche founded Gampo Abbey in 1983 at Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia, as a Shambhala lineage institution and a corporate division of the Vajradhatu Buddhist Church of Canada. Thrangu Rinpoche served as abbot until 2025, when Pema Chödrön became abbess. In 1990 Thrangu Rinpoche founded Söpa Chöling, the three-year retreat center, and in 1999 construction began on the Stupa of Enlightenment, consecrated in August 2001.

The name Gampo Abbey honours Gampopa, the first monastic of the Kagyü lineage. Temporary ordination, introduced at Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche's request, lets residents who have taken the Refuge Vow shave their heads, wear robes and train in monastic discipline for at least nine months after three months at the abbey. The three-year retreat centre Söpa Chöling was named by the third Jamgön Kongtrül; it means "Dharma Place of Patience."

The abbey sits at the edge of the Pleasant Bay community in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Programs open to the public include in-house retreats of a week or two, Shambhala programs, Shedra classes through the Vidyadhara Institute, and practice intensives such as Vajrayogini druppas. Temporary ordination requires at least three months of residence and the Refuge Vow, and lasts a minimum of nine months.

The grounds contain the Söpa Chöling retreat center, which offers three-year retreats in segments to fit participants' work commitments. This model lets people with regular jobs complete longer intensive practices.
