Clear Lake Center
Center Information
The
Clear Lake Diamond Way Buddhist Center was founded in 1998 and has been
active in the community ever since. We are a continuation of the activity
of the first Texas Diamond Way Center founded in 1992 in Friendswood after
Lama Ole's first visit to the Lone Star State.
Weekly Meetings
On Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7:30 pm we
will give a ten-minute talk followed by a 30-minute meditation on the 16th
Karmapa. Afterwards, we will enjoy some tea and snacks. If you are new to
Diamond Way this is a great time to get answers to all of your questions,
from several of our more experienced practitioners.
On Sunday mornings at 9:30 am we will do Ngondro and a meditation on the 16th Karmapa. On this day we will help guide those who are ready to take their practice to the next level. Ten-minute explanations on these very powerful practices will be given and then we will put these practices into action for an hour and twenty minutes. Afterwards we will enjoy tea and snacks. Newcomers are also welcome to attend.
No matter your level of experience, we welcome you to join us Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays!
***A message to new people***
New to Buddhism? Members
of our sangha are available to explain the basics before each meeting.
Please plan to arrive about 30 minutes early, and one of us will give you

Buddhism differs from other paths. Also, please feel free to read the introductory material located here. No prior
knowledge of Buddhism is needed to attend.
