The Karmapa Meditation, as Guru Yoga Mediation on the 16th Karmapa is often called, is a great way to get in touch with Diamond Way Buddhism. The Karmapa, his name means “man of action” is the highest lama in the Karma Kagyu Lineage. We meditate on him not as a man, but as an expression of our own Buddha nature. This meditation was given by the 16th Karmapa especially for practitioners in the west and is one of the core meditations practiced at Diamond Way Buddhist Centers. The meditation is available in booklet form at our center. |
