Our vision
A place of lasting beauty, built in harmony with people and nature.
Design
We hope that people from all walks of life will come to the Mikyo Dorje Institute to find peace and to cultivate their ‘inner wealth’ – their innate capacity for wisdom and compassion.
The harmonious design of the Institute will reflect this enriching purpose, and will inspire visitors to seek peace through study, contemplation and beneficial activity.
The buildings of the Mikyo Dorje Institute will seek to both reference the vernacular of the locality and enhance the natural surroundings.
The Institute will become a local landmark which will adorn and enrich the environment, as well as providing great benefits to the community through its core spiritual, cultural and educational activities.
The Mikyo Dorje Institute will make use of exemplary architectural design in order to ensure outstanding environmental performance.
The operation of the Institute will be arranged in order to maximise efficiency and minimise waste.
Wherever possible, the Institute will source food, equipment and skills from local producers and service providers.
The Institute will welcome local people who wish to find a peaceful space for reflection and it will make facilities available for local groups and communities.
