This past weekend, the Diamond Way Columbus group braved the snowpocalypse and traveled to Cincinnati to listen to traveling teacher Eric Gibson speak.

Among many other topics, we talked about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom and power.

Welcome back Diamond Way Buddhist Group of Greater Cincinnati! We are excited for what the future has in store for both of our groups.

The Columbus Center will re-open for public weekly meditations on Monday evening 6:15 beginning on August 13th.. Look forward to seeing you then.

Still traveling, the fondly termed Dakini Ranch in Colorado and the Western Retreat Centers had wonderful teachings and personal meditation time for participants. I also went to teachings at the San Francisco center where I received the White Tara statue. Here are photographs of these two retreat centers (we have 4 in the US) of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism under His Holiness the 17th Karma Trinley Thaye Dorje and direct personal guidance with Lama Ole Nydahl. The ranch is in Colorado and the WRC is in California. These are supportive and powerful places, along with good companionship and good food and good times to nourish and support personal practice. I hope your own summer is going very very well. m

Hi. During July 2018 the center is closed for Monday public meditations so members can do personal retreats. We will

Hi The public meditation tonight at 6:15 will have a short teaching on realizing the benefits of meditation. You can prepare by learning about the teacher Jigme Rinpoche and his other teachings. Jigme's words will be here, not the man himself. This is followed by a guide guru yoga meditation and informal tea and conversation if you wish.

Note that the center is closed during this July for travelling to hear various teachers and to work on the four retreat centers under development in the United States.

Tonights teaching will be a review of the Six Liberating Actions. This will be introduced by words from Lama Ole on what Buddhism is in everyday life. We want to produce Buddhism, live it ... Buddhism is not something to consume but it is alive, useful and transformative. After the ten minute talk and guided meditation (about 60 minutes), tea and conversation on the patio is offerred.
It looks like the weather will be great for that. Peace.
