Welcome to Diamond Way Buddhism in Edmonton
The Diamond Way Buddhist Centre in Edmonton belongs to an international non-profit network of over 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centres of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Lama Ole Nydahl and under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje.
Diamond Way Buddhism offers practical and effective methods to realize mind’s inherent richness for the benefit of all. With an accessibly and modern style, it works with people’s confidence and desire, using every situation in life to develop fearlessness and joy. We always present a basic introduction for newcomers, and the meditations are guided in English.
Since 1972, Lama Ole Nydahl has been working to develop a modern approach to the Buddha’s teachings. Modern western education, stressing self-reliance and independent thought, has proven to be an excellent basis for realizing one’s mind. Through our centres and groups the Buddha’s most effective teachings are being passed on to idealistic and independent people around the world.
* The guided meditation is the Guru Yoga meditation on the 16th Karmapa, our main meditation practice and is guided in English. It generally lasts around 30 minutes. No prior knowledge of Buddhism is required.
