Diamond Way Buddhism offers easy access to authentic teachings and Buddhist meditations useful in everyday life. It is practiced in 670 meditation centers and groups around the world, in 30 different languages.
They were founded by Hannah and Lama Ole Nydahl at the request of His Holiness the 16th Karmapa. All centers are directed by Lama Ole, under the spiritual guidance of the current Karmapa, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thayé Dordjé.
In France, Diamond Way Buddhism has been present in Paris since 2002, and also in the provinces. Operating on the basis of volunteering, friendship and idealism, our centers are open to everyone, regardless of age and regardless of social or professional environment. Introduction to Buddhism, guided meditations, as well as weekends of teaching and practicing meditation are offered in our centers.
