In the quiet village of Hantum you hardly meet a soul. And yet a few thousand international visitors seem to find their way to the Tibetan Buddhist learning and meditation center every year. The fact that there is a small sacred bulwark here is no reason for the people in the village to make themselves important. A simple green sign with the word "Stupa" shows the way to the temple. There was no room for the official name Karma Deleg Chö Phel Ling. On the way to the temple you pass the Hantumermolen.

Karma Deleg Chö Phel Ling is a Tibetan Buddhist study and meditation center located just outside the village of Hantum in Friesland. A small Tibet in the Frisian landscape of lawns, mills and waters. Silence alternates with waving prayer flags, singing birds and rustling leaves.

The Buddhist center aims to promote and develop compassion, well-being and happiness of all living beings. There are daily recitations in the temple and in addition lectures and workshops are organized. The center also offers the possibility to withdraw individually in a retreat.
