Diamond Way Buddhist Group Toronto belongs to an international non-profit network of over 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Lama Ole Nydahl and 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. We always present a basic introduction for newcomers, and the meditations are guided in English.

Regular Program

We meet for the weekly meditation on the 16th Karmapa on Mondays at 7:00 pm. New interested people are welcome to join us before the meditation, around 6:30 pm, to learn more about the Karma Kagyu Lineage and the meditation itself. Please contact us at toronto@diamondway.org for more details. Let us keep in touch through this page, Facebook, or email for any updates.
