Diamond Way Buddhism

Authentic Buddhist teachings for contemporary life

Diamond Way

The Buddha imparted three levels of teachings, the goal of which is to achieve liberation and enlightenment. Hence, the great differences between the three levels of teaching are simply different steps along the way.

De estos niveles el más directo es el  Vajrayana. Camino del Diamante es una escuela laica de Budismo Vajrayana. Fue fundada en 1972 por Lama Ole Nydahl y su esposa Hannah, quienes han establecido más de 600 centros budistas alrededor del mundo siguiendo los deseos del 16º Karmapa, el principal Lama del Linaje Karma Kagyu. Desde el año 2010, Budismo Camino del Diamante ofrece auténticas enseñanzas budistas en Costa Rica.

Buddhist Meditation

In Buddhism, meditation means “resting effortlessly in what is.” The most effective method is identification with one's own Buddha nature, a method taught in the Diamond Path. The moment the unity between the seer, what is seen, and the act of seeing remains intact (both during meditation and between moments of meditation), the goal of the Great Seal is achieved.

Being a buddhist

Buddhist teachings seek to meaningfully use the body, speech and mind in accordance with what the Buddha recommended. Since the Buddha's teachings are based on experience and not belief, it is not enough to describe their content.

The Buddha teaches that the cause of suffering is not evil but ignorance. Therefore, the goal is to eliminate ignorance, until the behavior of the beings of beings leads to lasting joy.
