Dispelling Darkness: A Day of Lojong in Ilkley

Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering - A Precise Word Commentary on the Seven Points of Mind Training of Mahayana

On the last day of February 2026, Lama Jampa Thaye continued his illuminating teaching of Karma Thinley Rinpoche’s commentary, unfolding each point with characteristic precision and clarity. The teachings created an inspiring atmosphere, revealing the timeless truths which bring benefit to all who put the guidance into practice.

In addition, Lama Jampa’s clear explanation of key terminology was especially helpful for the many newcomers present attending a dharma teaching for the first time.

There was also the joy of reconnecting with dear friends from across the country. In an informal discussion, sangha members shared thoughts on acquiring a larger home for the Harrogate centre, Kagyu Dechen Dzong, along with suggestions for ways to open the doors of Dharma more widely.

A day of genuine warmth, wisdom, and shared aspiration.
