Welcome to Wellington!

Who we are?

We are a group of friends who meet several times a week to spend time together, catch up on each other's lives but most importantly - to meditate. We use meditations we have learned from the 17th Karmapa and Lama Ole Nydahl who learned them from their own lamas - and so on back to Buddha Shakyamuni. As a meditation group we represent the lineage of transmission which goes back 2550 years. You can get more detailed information from the Diamond Way Buddhism section.

What happens on meditation nights?

This is quite simple - we meditate! We do the meditation we received from the 16th Karmapa especially for this purpose - to be used in our centres and by our groups. Normally before the meditation we do a short talk about Buddhist teachings, nevertheless the "main course" is always the meditation on the 16th Karmapa.

There are no prerequisites for the meditation. It can be mastered by anyone and is suitable for modern people living busy lives. Our groups are based on friendship and have a relaxed but professional western style.

To learn more about the meditation go to the section we have prepared for you here or just come over and try it yourself - it's free and we will answer any questions you may have. We are conveniently located on top of the Cuba Street - to see the map and other details jump to How & When section.
