Diamond Way Buddhist Center Seattle

The Seattle Diamond Way Buddhist Center is part of an international network of over 600 meditation centers (~35 in US) in the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Our Centers are friendly places where people get access to Buddha’s timeless wisdom in a form comprehensible to western, critical minds. We meditate together, share experience and actively participate in the Center activities. more on our center

Diamond Way Centers were founded by 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, Trinley Thaye Dorje. more on teachers

Our group 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.
