Lerab Ling is a Tibetan Buddhist centre founded in 1992 by Sogyal Rinpoche in Roqueredonde, near Lodève in Occitanie, France.

It contains perhaps the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Europe,[1] which was officially inaugurated by the Dalai Lama in 2008 at a ceremony attended by Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

[2] Before it became a buddhist retreat centre, the land was known as L'Engayresque, which means 'the place of springs' in the ancient Occitan language.

[5] The three-storey temple at Lerab Ling with its distinctive copper roofs is based on traditional Tibetan architecture.

Ordained monks and nuns living in Lerab Ling have been formally recognized as a religious congregation under French law.
