Introduction to Diamond Path Buddhism

Every Thursday at 20:00 we have an introductory talk on Diamond Path Buddhism (30 minutes) followed by our guided meditation (30 minutes).
What is the Diamond Path?
The Buddha gave instructions to three types of people. The first ones who wished to avoid suffering received teachings on Cause and Effect, called the Narrow Path (Hinayana). The second type of people felt the need to benefit others, so he gave them teachings on compassion and wisdom, called the Great Path (Mahayana). Finally, to those who had a solid confidence in their own potential and that of others, the Buddha explained teachings of the Diamond Path (Vajrayana). In this last level, we use methods of identification with the goal and act like a Buddha until we become like him. At the highest level, the goal is the complete development of the mind, which he called the Great Seal (Mahamudra).
Who are we?
Diamond Path Buddhism in Malaga is part of the more than 700 meditation centers internationally within the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. These centers have been founded and guided by Lama Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah Nydahl, in accordance with the wishes of H.H. XVI Karmapa. They are now under the spiritual guidance of H.H. XVII Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje. Our meditation place is made up of individuals with their own jobs who incorporate the teachings and meditations of the Diamond Path into their daily lives.
Our members share the responsibility of guiding meditations, answering questions, and providing explanations about Buddhism. Our work is unpaid and based on idealism and friendship.
We hold periodic meditation nights, always at 8:30 pm (Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri). Meditations are guided in Spanish, except on Thursdays when it is in English, allowing space, clarity, and joy to naturally arise. Other activities include talks, teachings, and personal practice.
