Dechen centres and groups offer regular meditation classes which give an introduction to the meditation practices of the Sakya and Karma-Kagyu traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
Dechen was founded by Lama Jampa Thaye under the spiritual authority of Karma Thinley Rinpoche. At the invitation of Lama Jampa Thaye both His Holiness Sakya Trizin and His Holiness Karmapa Thrinley Thaye Dorje have bestowed teachings at Dechen centres.
