Where can I find Diamond Way Buddhism in the West? While there are many Buddhist centers of various lineages active in the West, this page pertains to the over 230 lay Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu Lineage which have been started by Lama Ole Nydahl at the request of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. They are now under the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa, Thaye Dorje, who resides in New Delhi, 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 30 students who are now traveling and teaching in many countries. There are a number of ways to get in touch with these Diamond Way centers. To get a first impression online, see the Diamond Way Buddhism Network site, where you'll find explanations of our meditations, details on our teachers and a list of our centers worldwide. A good introduction to Diamond Way teachings is Lama Ole's book, "The Way Things Are," which also includes a listing of major centers around the world. Or simply send us an e-mail, or call your nearest center. |
