We dedicate our sincere praise to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama for his extraordinary win of the 2026 Grammy Award for Best Audiobook, Narration and Storytelling. Through his spoken work project Meditations: "The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama", His Holiness conveys his core message of compassion and universal responsibility.

Our Story

After almost ten years offering public meditation classes North Devon Sakya Group now meets privately. We follow the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism through study, meditation and Vajrayana pujas. We also meet regularly with our friends Exeter Sakya Buddhist Group for short meditation retreats. As devoted students of Lama Jampa Thaye and HH Sakya Trichen we attend Dharma teachings and Initiations whenever possible. Contact 01237 421903 for details
