What is it like in a Diamond Way Buddhist centre? Our meditation centres and groups are places where people can learn to meditate and receive authentic Buddhist teachings in a friendly, modern context. You don’t need any previous experience in order to attend – we offer regular introductory talks, and all meditations are guided. The teachings and the methods are based on a long tradition, but the style is open, Western, and free of cultural baggage. Diamond Way centres function through voluntary work on the basis of friendship and idealism. Drop-in meditation sessions are free of charge; donations are welcome. Those who consider that they benefit from regular meditations with us can become members for a small monthly donation and in this way support our activity. We also organise teachings by visiting Tibetan and Western Buddhist teachers such as H.H. Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje, the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu lineage, and Lama Ole Nydahl, who has been teaching in the West for forty years. Where does Diamond Way Buddhism come from? The Diamond Way is part of the Kagyu lineage, which traces its history back through the Karmapas – the first reincarnated Buddhist teachers – and other accomplished yogis such as Tibet’s great yogi Milarepa, to masters of Mahamudra like Tilopa and Saraha in northern India, and right back to the time of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni, 2,500 years ago. The meditation methods we practice have been used in a similar form for centuries.
