What an unforgettable two weeks! Lama Jampa Thaye has just wrapped up a vibrant and joyful visit to Dechen LA in Santa Monica, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Our temple was filled to the brim—more than ever before—with longtime sangha members and new friends from across California.
Several members of the Sakya Buddhist Temple enjoyed a magical morning at The Gentle Barn, an animal sanctuary in Santa Clarita, yesterday as part of our developing community outreach work.
This year, the second week of the Dechen summer course in France offered a wonderful opportunity for some of our young practitioners deepen their connection with the Three Jewels while having lots of fun!
The last two weeks of a still balmy August saw the completion of this year’s summer school with Lama Jampa Thaye at our European retreat centre in France, Sakya Changlochen Ling.
On Tuesday August 6, Dechen LA was blessed to welcome His Holiness Gongma Trichen Rinpoche to Santa Monica.
During this visit Lama Jampa taught on both the East and West Coasts and also made his annual visit to Sakya Dolma Ling in Mexico.
It’s only a few weeks now until Lama Jampa’s teaching program in Los Angeles begins!
We’re very excited to announce details of Lama Jampa Thaye’s forthcoming North American Tour.
We had a wonderful time at Sakya Buddhist Center Sunday morning celebrating Saga Dawa Duchen!
