Wood Valley Temple 

Retreat & Guest House

Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling "Immutable Island of Melodious Sound" is a Buddhist temple and retreat located on 25 acres in Wood Valley, the Ka'u District of the Island of Hawai'i.  His Holiness the Dalai Lama has visited and taught here twice.  Many other well known Tibetan lamas of all lineages are invited yearly to teach programs open to the public.

Wood Valley Temple, as it is known locally, has a Guest House with 9 rooms. It accommodates 15 people or a small group comfortably.  Guest rooms have an Asian Pacific decor, and original works of art grace the facility.  Quiet, charming and peaceful - this is a wonderful place to relax, reflect and meditate.  Staying here is a memorable experience and everyone is welcome!

Established in 1973 by the Venerable Nechung Rinpoche, Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling is a center for the dissemination of the Buddhist teachings, a place for great masters to teach and for students to receive and actualize these instructions through contemplation and meditation.
