Our group is part of an international network of 650+ Diamond Way Buddhist Centres and groups. The centres were started by the unique inspiration of Lama Ole and Hannah Nydahl according to the wishes of H.H. 16th Karmapa. They are now under the spiritual guidance of H.H. 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje. These centres and groups consist of people and families working in full-time jobs, and incorporating Diamond Way Buddhist teachings and meditations into their daily lives. Members share responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions, and giving explanations about Buddhism, and their work is unpaid.
