We follow the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism through study and meditation. We have close ties with Sakya Buddhism Exeter with whom we share short retreats three times a year. As devoted students of Lama Jampa Thaye and HH Sakya Trichen we also attend major dharma teachings and Initiations at Bristol Sakya Centre whenever possible.

Thankyou to Paul Rogers for introducing our small group to the famous Sakya teachings on "Parting from the Four Attachments", last Saturday 19th at St Annes Chapel in the heart of North Devon.
As Paul suggested "We have had a short look at the roadmap to Enlightenment now we need to step out onto the Path through the practice of study reflection and meditation."
We will be starting a new evening meditation/study group in Barnstaple this September. More details coming soon...
