Dechen London – Sakya Buddhist Centre

For details of regular classes and events click here

The Sakya Buddhist centre is located in London in a quiet part of Notting Hill, between the canal side walk to Little Venice and the busy shopping area of Portobello.

We offer day and evening classes in Buddhism and Meditation and occasional cultural events. There is also a programme of weekly and monthly Vajrayana practices. 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.

Teachings by HH Sakya Trizin in London

In 2010 Sakya Dechen Ling Buddhist Centre in London hosted

the major initiation of Kalachakra by His Holiness 41st Sakya Trizin.  During this visit His Holiness also gave a detailed teaching on the famous Sakya text, Parting from Parting from the Four Attachments.

His Holiness’s sons Ratna Vajra Rinpoche (H.H. the 42nd Sakya Trizin) and Gyana Vajra Rinpoche have also both visited London to give teachings and initiations, with Gyana Vajra Rinpoches first visit in 2010 to give the initiation of Majushri Arapatsana.

Ratna Vajra Rinpoche has given teachings so far on three occasions – His Holiness gave the initiation of Orange Manjusri in 2011 then in 2014 he taught Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen’s Short Melody of the Eight Dream-Like Experiences. In 2017 His Holiness also came to London to give the initiation of the Three Wrathful Lords.
