About us
This website represents more than 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu Lineage, started due to the unique inspiration of Lama Ole Nydhal and directed under the spiritual patronage of H.H. 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje.
The main practice in all our centers is the Guru Yoga meditation on the 16th Karmapa. We present a basic introduction for newcomers and the meditations are guided in English. The center provides a relaxed social atmosphere in the centers, refreshments are provided, and questions are encouraged. Our weekly meditation evenings are open to the public and are free of charge. Lay practitioners volunteer for all the tasks associated with the running of the center, which is held together by idealism and friendship.
