Lama Jampa Thaye is internationally acclaimed as a great Buddhist master and is fully trained in the Karma Kagyu and Sakya traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. He is well known for his kindness, warmth and humour. This promises to be a wonderful evening during which Lama Jampa will explain with skill and clarity, just why the Buddha’s teachings of wisdom and compassion, are still relevant in the modern world today.

Born in England in 1952, he became a student of Karma Thinley Rinpoche at the age of 20 and met his other principal teacher, H.H Sakya Trizin a year later. From these two teachers and a number of other masters he has received an extensive range of contemplative and philosophical teachings. In 1978, Lama Jampa was appointed as Dharma regent and subsequently in 1988 given the authority to bestow vajrayana initiations. He maintains a busy annual programme of teachings, initiations and personal interviews at the request of his students.
