Diamond Way Buddhist Center Seattle

Specialties

Our Guru Yoga meditation involves focusing on a Buddha form and mantra recitation. It is free, we guide it in English, it doesn’t require any special clothes, and doesn’t involve any complex rituals. It takes about half an hour, every Wednesday at 8pm at our center.

History

Established in 2007.

Our center is one of 600 meditation centers established by Lama Olé Nydahl according to the wishes of H.H. the 16 Karmapa. The centers are now enjoying spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17^th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje, the current head of the 1000-​years old Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.

Diamond Way Centers are non-​monastic and western in style, yet rooted in the lineage of oral transmission going back to historical Buddha Shakyamuni 2500 years ago.
