Diamond Way Buddhism & Meditation

When: Saturday at 4pm

We are a small and friendly group. We meet once a week on Saturdays at 4pm in Millers Yard. Each week we give a short talk on a Buddhist topic and are always able to give an introduction to Buddhism and how to meditate.

Newcomers are always welcome.

The sessions are free of charge.

What is Buddhism?

The Buddha gave practical methods to overcome suffering, develop compassion and wisdom for the benefit of all, and transform one's view to recognise the inherent perfection in all phenomena. Buddha always encouraged his students to be critical, inviting them to check for themselves whether his teachings were dogmatic or truly liberating.

What is Diamond Way?

In general, Diamond Way is the English translation of the Sanskrit Vajrayana - a term for Buddha's most profound methods. Specifically, it is also the name of the network of Buddhist Centres of the Karma Kagyu lineage, under the spiritual authority of H.H. 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinlay Thaye Dorje and practical guidance of Lama Ole Nydahl.

Inside a modern, accessible framework we practice and offer to others the methods which were used for centuries in India and then Tibet, transmitted in an unbroken lineage of fully realised teachers.
