Diamond Way Buddhism Sydney is one of more than 600 international Buddhist centres of the Karma Kagyu Lineage, under the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje and directed by Lama Ole Nydahl. The centre is run and maintained through the idealism of friends who meditate together in Newtown.
We're a friendly and informal group, and newcomers are welcome every weeknight at 8pm. The best night for beginners and the curious is Monday night, when there's a half hour introductory talk by an experienced member of the group, with time for questions, followed by a meditation.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us on one of the numbers below, or send us an email.
