Diamond Way Sangha
While there are many Buddhist centers of various lineages active in the West, this web site belongs to one of the four hundred lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu Lineage which have been started by Lama Ole Nydahl. They are under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Karmapa, Thaye Dorje, who now resides in Kalimpong, India.
These groups have a democratic structure and function through unpaid, voluntary work on the basis of idealism and friendship. The members share the responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions and giving teachings. Lama Ole has so far trained about 50 students who are now traveling and teaching in many countries.
The Diamond Way opens the most skillful methods of the Buddha to the modern world. Using them one learns to experience the world from a rich and self-liberating viewpoint. Its meditations develop a deep inner richness and lead to non-fabrication and an unwavering mind. They help us to discover and finally unfold all our enlightened qualities for the benefit of all beings as well as ourselves.
