The New Buddhist Center Hamburg Diamond Way Buddhism for Northern Europe The Present |
|
Today, up to 80 visitors take part in the guided meditations we offer daily. Regular seminars, courses with western teachers and courses with Tibetan and European Lamas give the necessary background knowledge on meditation practice. The highest teachers of the Karma Kagyu Lineage attract up to 800 listerners.
Ngondro courses, video screenings, study courses, introductory evenings and weekend meetings where we meditate together are offered regularly. We also give regular introductions into Buddhism to school classes and training seminars to ethics and religion teachers.
A center staff of 40 people run these programs and a non-profit organisation with 200 members in Hamburg alone. This organisation cares for twelve additional Buddhist centers in the region, supervising the book-keeping for all. Also, the federal non-profit Kagyü organisation KKD is located partly here, connecting 50 centers and meditation groups in Germany. They receive financial and legal advice from us, and our lawers also helped to found the non-profit organisation in the U.S.
We distribute books, videos, meditation texts and offer a library. - and the activities keep growing...
