Kagyu Dechen Dzong

Authentic Tibetan Buddhist Centre

If you're seeking a place for peace, reflection, and spiritual connection, Kagyu Dechen Dzong in Harrogate offers just that. Established in 1993 by Lama Jampa Thaye, it serves as a Buddhist centre dedicated to teaching and sharing the meditation practices and philosophy of the Karma Kagyu school of Buddhism.

In a world often focused on consumption and competition, Kagyu Dechen Dzong provides a welcoming space for people to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. Alongside churches and other spiritual centres, it offers a sanctuary where anyone—regardless of background—can study, meditate, and rediscover their inner peace.

Whether you're curious about Buddhism or simply looking for a place to slow down and reflect, Kagyu Dechen Dzong is a calming, inclusive space at the heart of the community.
