Welcome to Diamond Way Buddhism – Bulgaria

This website represents 8 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers and groups of the Karma Kagyu Tradition in Bulgaria under the spiritual guidance of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje, and directed by Lama Ole Nydahl. They are not abstract institutions but friendly places where all can meet to learn from Buddha’s timeless wisdom, meditate, share experience and development, and actively participate and do the work which makes all this possible.

In 1969 Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah met the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, historically the first incarnate lama of Tibet. Since then the teachings of Diamond Way Buddhism have gradually found their way to the West. His Holiness asked them to teach, establish meditation centres and ensure that the teachings would remain alive and attractive to intelligent, critical, lay people in the Western world.
