Karma Kagyü is one of the four main Tibetan transmission lineages of Buddhism, where the richness of Buddhist teachings is still alive today. Additionally to other Buddhist traditions in this lineage also the profound and effective methods of the Diamond Way - the Buddhist Tantra - are transmitted.
The core of the teachings of the Kagyü lineage are the teachings of Mahamudra. These are specific methods for the practitioner to realize the nature of his own mind, which never has been separated from the state of Buddhahood. The basis for this realization is built up by the gradual development of compassion and wisdom.
Spiritual head of the Karma Kagyü lineage is the XVIIth Karmapa Thaye Dorje.
Karma Kagyü Austria (Karma Kagyü Österreich - KKÖ) is the roof organization of Karma Kagyü centers in Austria and exists since 1982. It is our strong intention to open up the rich knowledge concerning the nature of mind, which has been handed down by the Karma Kagyü tradition, beyond cultural aspects and to enable everybody to apply this wisdom within our western civilization. Therefore our centers offer regular meditation sessions, basic and advanced courses in Buddhist studies, and meditation seminaries.
KKÖ is an acknowledged "order" of the ÖBR, which has been officially acknowledged as a religion by the government of Austria more then ten years ago.
