The Diamond Way Buddhist Center Connecticut is part of an international network of over 450 meditation centers in the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. These centers were founded and are directed by Lama Ole Nydahl according to the wishes of H.H. 16th Karmapa. They are now under the spiritual guidance of H.H. 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinlay Thaye Dorje.
		In the United States there are about thirty-five centers and groups located throughout the country. They operate under Diamond Way Buddhist Centers USA, which is a non-profit religious organization. Please visit the national website for more information.
		Our center consists of people and families, who work full-time jobs, and incorporate Diamond Way teachings and meditations into their daily lives. Our members share responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions, and giving explanations about Buddhism; our work is unpaid, and based on idealism and friendship. We hold weekly meditation evenings, which are open to the public and are free of charge. There is a relaxed social atmosphere and questions are encouraged. Meditations are guided in English and involve visualization and mantra recitation, allowing space, clarity and joy to naturally arise. Other activities include group readings, teachings and meditation retreats. For more information, please call 203.723.7824 or simply send us an email.
