What we’re about

The Diamond Way Buddhist Center of Portland is part of an international network of over 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist meditation centers of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Hannah and Lama Ole Nydahl according to the wishes of H.H. the 16th Karmapa. They are now under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje.

Diamond Way Buddhism offers practical and effective methods to realize mind’s inherent richness for the benefit of all. With an accessible and modern style, it works with people’s confidence and desire, using every situation in life to develop fearlessness and joy. Our centers are run on the basis of idealism and friendship by members who incorporate the teachings and meditations into their work and family lives.
