Let's do it again!

The Europe Center (EC) comes alive across the Atlantic through the Americas Project—and most importantly through the annual Americas Course. Friends from throughout the Americas have met annually at the EC, where our friendships and collective activity have flourished. Recent major events like the “Living Buddhism” courses, “Vaya con” tours, and Americas Adventure in Europe have opened people’s minds to the vast potential that is our future. Each of these Americas events has palpably invoked the Lama’s presence, even when he was on the other side of the world.
 
Together, we are discovering what happens when we dare to trust in possibility, like our Lama has always encouraged. Through applying his advice, we gain more confidence in each other, in ourselves, and in what we are capable of when we function as a totality, like an organism.
 
This development was catapulted into a new dimension with the Americas Course 2014, the seeds for which were first planted over five years ago. Over 160 people came together to apply and deepen our understanding of our Lama’s guiding teachings. With confidence in him and in one another, the exchange was definitely fruitful. Many wishes and visions ripened, and new seeds were planted for further powerful cooperation. It will only get better.
 
Nearly every country in the hemisphere where we have Diamond Way Centers was represented, and in a part of the world where courses with Lama Ole are in the hundreds, not (yet) thousands, the turnout is significant. It demonstrates a mature priority in people’s minds. Cultural boundaries are losing their relevance as the warm feeling of family permeates each moment.

If you didn’t make it in 2014, not to worry; you can join us in 2015—same time, same place!
