Lamas

HH the Sakya Trizin

After the take-over of Tibet in 1959, the Sakya Trizin arrived in India after a treacherous journey over the Himalayas. He established the Sakya Monastery at Rajpur, Dheradun.

The venerable Lama Thubten Nyima with his brother, the venerable Lama Jamyang Lekshey who founded our new Buddhist Centre were only small children when they left Tibet.

Lama Jamyang Lekshey

We have been privileged to receive teachings from these high Lamas for the past 4 1/2 years.

Tibetan Buddhism is tolerant and respects all beliefs. Tibetan Lamas work tirelessly for the benefit of all beings with love and compassion. They have vast wisdom of Training the Mind and Meditation, following original lineage teachings thousands of years old.

We hope to practise these principles at our new Sakya Buddhist Centre, to create a good and helpful atmosphere and benefit in particular the local community.
