Diamond Way Buddhist Centers
While there are many Buddhist traditions active in the West, this website represents the more than 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu school founded and directed by Lama Ole Nydahl. They are under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje. Diamond Way Buddhist centers have a democratic structure and function through unpaid, voluntary work on the basis of friendship and idealism. The members share the responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions, and giving teachings. Lama Ole has also empowered more than 100 of his students to travel and teach Buddhism.

The Europe Center project preserves the living transmission of Diamond Way Buddhism and is the international meeting point for all Diamond Way groups worldwide. Meditation courses, meetings and many other means of communication happen at the site. It is a place where our Buddhist practice deepens, where friendships grow and where the transmission of the highest teachings is ensured through family-like closeness.
