Diamond Way Buddhism Melbourne Meditation Centre

MELBOURNE Latest update: we are closed until we find a new venue. —- Due to Melbourne’s strict COVID-safe rules, we can only allow a limited number of people in the centre. We will then e-mail you back to confirm whether you can come. If we can’t fit you in this week we will try to book you in the following week. Established in 1999 Diamond Way Buddhism Melbourne is one of more than 650 international Buddhist centres of the Karma Kagyu Lineage, under the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje and founded by Lama Ole Nydahl. The centre is run and maintained through the volunteer efforts and idealism of friends who meditate together in Melbourne. We welcome newcomers to attend our advertised sessions below. Feel free to drop in, no bookings are needed. ABOUT What should I expect on my first visit to a Diamond Way Buddhist centre? Turn up roughly on time, and expect to meet a relaxed and friendly bunch of people who seem remarkably normal and un-holy. Diamond Way Buddhism is for regular people after all, and no formal meditation experience or Buddhist knowledge is required. What happens on a meditation night? There is usually a talk before the free guided meditation begins, given by members of the group keen to practice sharing their knowledge. The guided meditation runs for about 20 to 30 minutes. The presenter for the evening will outline the details of the meditation prior to commencing. Please check the centres schedule for their weekly program, the public evenings are free to attend. How do I become a member? Just make an enquiry at your local Diamond Way Buddhist Centre.
