Diamond Way Buddhist Group Amherst belongs to an international non-profit network of over 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Lama Ole Nydahl and under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje.
Diamond Way Buddhism offers practical and effective methods to realize mind’s inherent richness for the benefit of all. With an accessible and modern style, it works with people’s confidence and desire, using every situation in life to develop fearlessness and joy. We always present a basic introduction for newcomers, and the meditations are guided in English.
Regular Program
Dear friends, due to changing conditions, the Amherst Diamond Way Buddhist Group will no longer meet. Diamond Way Buddhism is alive and well (in over 700 centers worldwide, including Boston, Mass.) and regular meditations continue as always. It has been a joy to be part of the community, to welcome you to the center, and to meditate with you. We make good wishes for the happiness of all beings as we continue this journey.
