Diamond Way Buddhist centers are friendly places
where you can get easy access to Buddhist teachings, learn to meditate,
and meet other people who practice Buddhism while living modern lives.

There are 640 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers around the world, so
it’s likely that there is one near you. To see which centers there are
in your country, you can browse our list of centers by country.

When you visit a Buddhist center for the first time, you can expect
to have your questions about Buddhism answered, be shown a guided
meditation suitable for beginners, and have time to socialize and get to
know the other practitioners.

The centers have an open and transparent structure and function on
the basis of friendship, idealism and voluntary work. Their members
share the responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions,
and giving explanations.

Different Buddhist centers offer various programs. Our larger centers
hold meditation courses and lectures by our Karma Kagyu lamas, and all
of them have regular talks and explanations by lay Buddhist teachers.
There is always the opportunity to learn and practice the meditation on the 16th Karmapa,
which is short enough for busy Westerners to incorporate into their
schedule, and at the same time an extremely effective way to train the
mind.
