Description
About Holy Island Project
Located off the coast of Arran in the Firth of Clyde, the island has a long spiritual history. It is endowed with an ancient healing spring, the hermit-cave of a 6th Century monk, St Molaise, and evidence of a 13th Century Christian Monastery. Now under the stewardship of the Rokpa Trust, the island has become a focus for work on three great concerns of our time:
The Environment
Rapid degradation of the global environment is endangering all life. Holy Island still remains relatively unharmed. It is ensured that whatever is done on the island will respect the environment, the island being a focus for the energies of many who care. Thus, for example, the centre was built with ecologically sound materials and methods:
Peace
The threat of total nuclear destruction is no longer on everyone's mind but the universal availability of powerful weapons means that economic, racial and ideological conflicts can turn into carnage on a scale previously unknown. Holy Island is dedicated to peace, co-operation between all faiths and what His Holiness the Dalai Lama talks of as "lasting peace" based on "internal disarmament".
