Welcome
The Diamond Way Buddhist Center San Francisco is one of a worldwide network of over 600 Buddhist Centers founded by Lama Ole Nydahl according to the wishes of the late 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. The Diamond Way is the crown jewel of the Buddha's teachings; it employs methods of total identification with enlightenment for quickest results.
The teachings are presented in a relaxed, contemporary style that makes them readily accessible to Westerners who want to know the nature of their mind. Everyone is welcome to come experience a meditation with us. Our weekly meditation evenings are open to the public and free of charge. There is a relaxed social atmosphere in the center and questions are encouraged
We invite you to spend a few moments exploring our website. Here you can learn about our weekly program and about special events happening at the center, as well as get directions to the center. You can learn about the meditation we do as a group and learn how to hear an introduction to Buddhism.
You can learn about our teachers and even watch videos of Lama Ole and the 17th Karmapa giving teachings.
