Buddhism
Buddha gave his students effective methods aimed at their personal development that allowed them to live better, become free and full of joy. His teachings were given in everyday situations while he was travelling with his students through India and teaching “the way things are”.
Meditation
Buddhist meditation is the fastest way to develop mind’s full potential and to reach lasting happiness. The Buddhist goal is exceedingly simple - to get rid of hopes and fears. All mind’s perfect qualities arise naturally in the moment of here and now.
Our teachers
The Diamond Way Buddhist centre was founded by lama Ole Nydahl, who is one of the first europeans who were asked to teach Buddhism in the West. The centre is under the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa Thaye Dorje, who is the head of the Karma Kagyu lineage.
