Weekly Meetings

The Diamond Way Buddhist group at the University of Texas at Austin was founded in 1996 and has been meeting regularly on campus ever since. During the Spring and Fall semesters, we meet on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm on campus in the Texas Union, Asian Culture Room (see our calendar for exceptions) and at the Austin Center on Sundays at 7:00pm. Everyone is welcome to attend our weekly teachings, discussion, and meditation.

***A message to new people***
At each meeting, we are always happy to give an introduction to our group and methods, and answer any questions. No prior knowledge of Buddhism is needed to attend. 

Also, please feel free to contact Jeremy, Tammy, Mike, or Simone at (512)371-9803.

Intercollegiate Diamond Way Buddhist Network

The Intercollegiate Diamond Way Buddhist Network was founded in January 2003 by groups and centers affiliated with universities throughout the Americas and around the globe. Our general goal is to create a support structure for all new and previously established university groups and to make Diamond Way Buddhism accessible to all university and high school students and professors.

This site offers centralized access to all major Diamond Way Websites and Online Teachings, as well as personalized access for university group organizers. If there isn't currently a Diamond Way Center in your area, resources are readily available for starting a new university-affiliated group on your campus or in town. In addition, we've also provided a means for professors to invite Buddhist teachers to speak in their classes as guest lecturers.

Our ultimate aim is to form a chain of well-functioning Diamond Way Buddhist groups, based on friendship and idealism, which will be capable of hosting Karma Kagyu teachers such as The 17th Karmapa Thaye Dorje, Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche, Lama Ole Nydahl, and their senior students for lecture tours on university campuses worldwide. Eventually we would like to translate the site into many languages so that our friends throughout Europe, Russia, and Latin America will be able to use it as well.
