Venerable Jampa Dekyi

Venerable Jampa Dekyi was born in Australia in 1945. Having moved to the Solomon Islands at the age of 14, for the following 25 years this was ‘ home’ alongside her late husband. Dekyi has 3 sons, a daughter and 1 granddaughter (who was born on the anniversary of the first turning of the wheel).

Having met the Buddhadarma in Australia in 1992, after attending her first meditation session Dekyi instantly had the wish to become ordained. This happened in May 1993 where Jampa Deyki took Rabjung vows with Geshe Tashi tsering at Chenrezig Institute, and in October of the same year she took Getsul ordination with Khensue Rinpoche.

Over the past 15 years Jampa Deyki has studied most of the BSP topics including the amazing 8- months Lam Rim Chen-mo. Jampa Dekyi was the resident teacher at Vajrayana in Sydney for 5 years and also for 1 year at Kadam Sharawa in Gosford. Dekyi then had a short stay at Hayagriva Centre in Perth before travelling to Tushita Meditation Centre, where she now resides.

Dekyi’s wish is to share the beauty, depth and practical compassion of the Buddhadarma with all who have an interest.
