Earlier this month Lama Jampa and Dechen Dolma were in Mexico City for a few weeks of teachings hosted by the Sakya centre there, Sakya Dolma Ling. This was a very special visit due to the presence of His Holiness Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, the 42nd Gongma Trichen, whom Lama jampa had requested to bestow teachings.

Blessed with sunshine all day, Yorkshire Buddhist Community welcomed visitors from around the country to hear this wonderful teaching given by Lama Jampa Thaye.

Lama Jampa returned to Dhakpo Kundreul Ling, the foremost monastic center of the Karma Kagyu in the West, to continue the teaching on the Tantra Sets that he had begun last year, and indeed that he had previously taught at Dhakpo Kagyu Ling, the other main seat of His Holiness Karmapa in France.

This weekend Lama Jampa gave both a full day of Vajrayana Buddhist teachings in London, and also hosted a visit of His Eminence Khöndung Asanga Vajra Rinpoche to the Dechen London temple in Notting Hill (106 Chepstow Road).

In his welcome address to the participants of the 2025 Public teachings course at KIBI, Lama Jampa laid out the feast of Karma Kagyu dharma that was to come, as it included all aspects of the dharma.

The weekend course, held in Prague from February 21–23, 2025, was the third part of the series on 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje's Namshe-Yeshe.

Lama Jampa visited the Bodhipath Centre in Renchen Ulm from 14.2. to 16.2.25. There he gave teachings on Karmapa Rangjung Droje Shastra "Distinguishing Consciousness and Primordial Wisdom" for the 5th time.

Over the weekend of the 8th and 9th of February, Lama Jampa Thaye began teaching the Gyud Lama at the Shedra in Manchester, and on Sunday afternoon, bestowed the initiation of White Manjushri, from the lineage of Tropha Lotsawa.

Lama Jampa and Dechen Dolma have recently returned from a week long trip to Nepal to visit Karma Thinley Rinpoche. A grand master of the Sakya and Kagyu traditions, Rinpoche was born into the noble family of Bongsar in 1931 in the Nangchen area of Kham, Eastern Tibet.

The day opened with Lama Jampa recommencing teachings on Sakya Pandita‘s ‘Discriminating the Three Vows’, a work which illuminates how to practice the Buddhist path – without detour – to its destination.

On the evening of the 8th January, an event entitled ‘Navigating Spirituality in an Age of Doubt’, saw Lama Jampa in conversation in Manchester’s stylish city centre venue HOME. This event was attended by over 200 people of all ages and backgrounds.

Between the 13th and 20th December Lama Jampa was in residence at the Dechen temple in Manchester (Kagyu Ling). During that time he gave teachings in Central Manchester to a large gathering of people from across the UK.

In order to celebrate the vast and melodious dharma activity of our precious teacher, Lama Jampa Thaye, members of the Dechen Community offered over £2700 to sponsor a  Long life tsok puja at Karma Thinley Rinpoche’s nunnery in Kathmandu, Tegchen Legshay Ling and also a Tsethar (life release) ritual.

Sakya Dolma Ling in Mexico City was recently blessed with a ten day visit by Lama Jampa Thaye and Dechen Dolma. Eager gatherings of people came together to receive a number of important teachings and initiations at the Dechen Mexico Dharma Centre.

During the weekend of October 11-13, 2024, Lama Jampa Thaye, accompanied by his wife Dechen Dolma, visited the Karma Kagyü Sangha center in Vienna, Austria. This marked his second visit to the center, which is affiliated with the BodhiPath Organisation.

With its echoes of Victorian grandeur the Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel in Bristol was the setting for Lama Jampa Thaye's third visit to Bristol of 2024 on Saturday 5 October. Over 100 people came to hear the 9th part of Sakya Pandita’s ‘Discriminating the Three Vows’, and to receive the initiation of Manjushri Arapatsana.

Continuing his tour of Germany & Switzerland, on the outskirts of Basel Lama Jampa bestowed the initiation of White Tara according to the lineage of Shakya Shri Bhadra. The resident Dechen group together with dharma friends from around Switzerland came together for this mid-week occasion, and many stayed afterwards and joined Lama Jampa and Dechen Dolma for coffee and cakes in a relaxed and informal setting.
