Diamond Way Buddhist Group San Jose

We are a community of fun, relaxed and spiritual people, who study, discuss Buddha's teachings and practice them while living and enjoying our modern lives. This group is for those who seek a fresh, practical and direct experience of what Buddhism is all about.

Diamond Way (Vajrayana - Skt.) is the crown jewel of the Buddha's teachings. The view and meditation practices of the Vajrayana Buddhism have been transmitted directly from a teacher to a student in a careful manner directly from the Buddha himself. This group is a part of an international non-profit network of more than 500 meditation centers in the Karma Kagyu tradition (lineage of the yogis) of Tibetan Buddhism. These centers were founded and are directed by Lama Ole Nydahl according to the wishes of H.H. the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje. They are currently under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinlay Thaye Dorje, who now resides in India.

"Buddhism does not simply prescribe rules to people but more importantly, it provides practical methods to achieve results." - Shamar Kunzig Rinpoche.

"Hi folks! I have been doing some self searching these past few years and although I am baptized catholic, I believe I am more interested in buddhism than any other 'religion'. I just would like to meet some more like minded folks to learn more."
