Jamyang Sakya

Born in Kham, Eastern Tibet, she began her training in Buddhist pracatice at an early age since she was the niece of one of the most highly realized Sakya masters of the 20th century, H.E. Deshung Rinpoche III. When she married H.H. Dagchen Rinpoche, she became Sakya Dagmo (Holy Mother) of the Sakya Khon family– one of Tibet’s religious family lineages. Dagmola has received extensive teachings & empowerments from many revered lamas throughout her lifetime. She has co-authored a captivating book, Princess in the Land of Snows, about her life in Tibet and her family’s escape over the Himalayan mountains to India (later to Seattle, Washington) in 1959. She is a greatly respected Dharma teacher to her students in many countries, focusing on the Tara practice.

The Mother Tara Sakya Center, named Tara Ling by H.H. the Dalai Lama, was founded by Dagmo Jamyang Sakya. For many years Dagmola has been giving teachings and empowerments to many students worldwide, and the center has been established to further her teachings.
