Buddhist study groups and prayers
Deepen your understanding of Buddhism through study and devotional practice.
Alongside our meditation sessions, Dechen London hosts small study groups and monthly prayer gatherings. These meetings explore classical Buddhist texts — such as Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life — and include recitations like the Chenrezik puja.
Study groups encourage discussion and reflection, helping students connect the teachings with everyday life, while group prayers cultivate devotion and compassion through shared chanting and offering. Sessions are friendly and informal; newcomers are welcome to attend. No booking is required — simply check the schedule and come along.

Vajrayana puja
One Saturday a month
The goddess Tara is revered in all traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism as the embodiment of the liberating activity of all buddhas. As such her initiation and meditation are especially effective means of awakening one’s innate capacity for enlightened compassion.
