Notes from STWR:
The official tartan of "Samye Sangha", the monks and nuns of Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Centre and Monastery in Eskdalemuir, South West Scotland. Abbot Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, originally from Tibet, now directs traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice for Sangha and lay people at Samye Ling. He designed this simple, dignified red check tartan to line the robes of his monks and nuns and calls it "Lama Yeshe’s tartan for his western Sangha". He says "we are fortunate to be established as part of the Scottish community and wanted a tartan for our Sangha to show how much appreciation we have for the people, culture and tradition of Scotland".
