We are so happy that the Palyul Centre UK has found a new home in Plumstead, transforming an old timber yard into a permanent centre for Tibetan Buddhist practice, meditation and community wellbeing – but we need your help to make this a reality.

The Palyul Centre UK was founded by His Holiness the 3rd Penor Rinpoche, whose vision was to bring Dharma to the West. Now we have a rare opportunity to bring that vision to life, by creating a lasting space where people from all backgrounds can come to study, contemplate, meditate, and share in community events.

In late 2025, we took a bold step and acquired the site in Plumstead – formerly used as a timber yard – which we are now transforming into a vibrant and inclusive centre.

The Palyul Centre UK is a charity that relies on donations and volunteer-led help. By supporting us you will help us renovate the building into a modern, welcoming temple and community space, that will provide:

Teachings rooted in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism

• A place where people of all ages and backgrounds can connect and learn

• A meditation hall with natural light

• Multi-purpose rooms for teachings, workshops, youth programmes, Tai Chi, and Yoga

• A building reflecting Buddhist values, built in a kinder, sustainable way for future generations

• A welcoming community hub for cultural events.

This is more than a building. It is a place where we can:

• Preserve the unbroken lineage of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism

• Provide ancient wisdom and learning to counterbalance the difficulties of modern life 

• Offer wellbeing support to people of all cultures and backgrounds. 

What We Are Raising

• We are seeking £300,000 to create a functional space for practice and community use

• £30k for architects, planning, legal work 

• £75k for building materials

• £130k initial building works for contractors

• £35k accessibility and sustainability upgrades

• £30k fixtures, furnishings, and shrine elements.

In Buddhist tradition, generosity (dāna) is the foundation of all positive action. By supporting this project, you are helping to create a place where compassion, wisdom, and community can flourish for the benefit of all for generations to come.

Thank you so much for being part of this!
