Sakya Dechen Ling is a new Sakya Buddhist centre in London that is part of the Dechen association of Tibetan Buddhist centres in the UK, Europe and the Americas under the direction of Lama Jampa Thaye and Karma Thinley Rinpoche.
Sakya is one of the four major schools of the Tibetan Buddhism. The tradition takes its name from the monastery founded in 1073 at Sakya in south-western Tibet by Konchog Gyalpo. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Sakya tradition rose to a position of prominence in the religious and cultural life of Tibet. Now the Sakya tradition, under the guidance of His Holiness the Sakya Trizin, is putting down roots outside Tibet and India.
Dechen is committed to a traditional approach to Buddhism, transmitting and practising the teachings in the same way as all the great Buddhist masters of India and Tibet have done since the time of the Buddha himself. Yet in accordance with the injunctions of those same masters, a traditional approach must be combined with intelligence, questioning and analysing the teachings in great depth, in order for them to be effective.
