A few times a year we organise major Buddhist teachings at outside venues from the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Learn About Buddhism and Meditation We run meditation classes open to all who are interested in learning about Buddhist meditation and the core teachings of the Buddha. About Sakya Dechen Ling Since its founding in 2005, Sakya Dechen Ling has hosted teachings by major masters of the Sakya tradition. The centre is fortunate to be blessed with visits by Lama Jampa Thaye, Karma Thinley Rinpoche and His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin. The centre has become a powerful place for people to practice together.
